Just to update the list: I examined the script that was looking for the docbook package and noted where it ought to be found, and put it there. It worked. Sorry I panicked and asked for help before my brain kicked in! I got the Festival speech package going yesterday and now it looks like Gnome 2.0.6 is well on the way to being installed too. With all this work, I probably will not like working in a GUI after all! Chuck -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (52% of Full) So visit me at http://www.valstar.net/~hallenbeck
