However, the old Stable version of gcc (2.95.4) is not happy with the new (3.2?) one, and my attempt to apt-get things brought up unmet dependencies. So is there a way around this, short of reinstalling the whole base system? I'm sure Debian is cleverer than that! I did try to download a DeMuDi-0.9 ISO over my superfast dial-up modem connection (maxes out at 5KBps) which would have taken 46 hours (no surfing all weekend!), but it stopped after only 68MB, although this may have been to do with their domain weirdness. So I'd rather just apt-get single packages at a time. Sadly http://packages.debian.org/ is still down pending security checks. Can one get most audio packages straight from DeMuDi? Sorry if this lame newbie question seems OT, but it has for months prevented me getting sound set up. Here's hoping Santa.... Cheers Malcolm Smith
