Excellent!

OK, just tried this with the java package that I installed, tells me it's
not installed, and when I try to do a 'dpkg -r j2re1.3_1.3.0-2_i386.deb
I'm told I can't use the file name, but must use the package. Hmm seems
like a catch 22...

Thank-you for the information. I'm having fun with Debian - I come from
Caldera and Mandrake, in those distros the configuration is too easy.
I still have to configure my sound card, scsi zip drive, scsi scanner and
fix a broken JRE that won't allow my Mozilla to run. I'm enjoying doing this,
as I'm learning new skills. Once I've mastered tweaking Debian, I'll give
slackware a shot. <G> I think Debian will keep me busy for sometime however.
I'm sure I'll be asking the list for help from time to time.

I would try one of the unofficial versions - in monitoring the leafnode
list from time to time, the people that have used them find them
quicker. The locations for them can be found on the leafnode webpage.
I run mine by crontab, so I don't notice how long it takes to do
anything once the initial all group list is done.
