Thanks for the info. Hrm, hotplug is also involved in a chain of dependencies, which go: hotplug <-ezusbmidi<-demudi-midi<-demudi-soundapps. I'm hoping the last two are 'empty' packages, but I'm wary, because the ONE thing I DO want (and what got me into this mess in the first place) is to be able to fire up an external synth. firewire, usb & pcmcia I can do without. I'm being double cautious due to the number of times I've lost the function I needed due to deleting something that seemed irrelevant. can anyone reassure me on this matter? tim hall On Wednesday 26 February 2003 01:41, you wrote: > On Wed, Feb 26, 2003 at 02:36:30PM +1300, Ryurick M.
