Ralph,

	Believe or not I have found an excellent site to download Debian files
and it is usally pretty fast. Has been up to date just about everytime I have
logged on also. 

	I have it set up as my default ftp site in dselect. It is at
ftp.caldera.com and the main directory is /pub/mirrors/debian. After that I
just enter the hamm/hamm, hamm/non-free, and hamm/contrib. You should update
the Packages list first and then you will be able to download then xlib6g
files. Get the xlib6g-dev files also. I have found that the '-dev' files
usally contain the missing lib files that I always have to go back and get...

	Hope this helps....
