That may be harder than it seems. I am new to Linux. I can do apt-get install, but I need the repository and name of the program to install. From past experience, if it's not listed in Synaptic (Debian GUI for apt-get), there is no repository where it is located. And I suppose I'd need to uninstall 1.1.3 first. Unlike Windows, Linux packages don't generally understand the difference between "install" and "upgrade," nor do they even look if there is a previous version already installed. And I'll bet there are no instructions anywhere on this subject either. :( > 2) If possible, d/l the latest 2.0 beta and see if the problem is fixed.

I suspect that it is sufficiently different that I could install it alongside 1.1.3. I remember once having StarOffice 5.something installed alongside 6.something. Then 7.0 came out and I bought the retail version, installed it, nuked the other two, and have been using nothing but StarOffice on the Windows computer ever since. I'm just kind of leery about beta programs. You can always tell the pioneers. They're the ones with the arrows in their backs. :( I tried Peter's suggestion, but will discuss that in a separate reply to his message. Thanks for the thoughts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
