Thomas and Larry,

Many thanks for the prompt replies. I think we've identified the  
problem alright. Oddly in Gentoo and Arch, I've never taken that  
additional step, didn't have to which is a little odd in its own right,  
I suppose. Debian is really quite unique in how it handles a great many  
things. I've certainly learned this lesson as I've moved forward with  
Sarge.

Thanks again for the help.
