Paul: Thanks. Worked like a charm. I tried to install Skype, and got
this. Any suggestions on how to make dpkg find the path?
dpkg -i skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin
and /sbin.
root@freedom:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games
root@freedom:~#
