Hi Lorenzo Many thanks, that fixed it. Do you have any idea of what gets installed when the desktop computer option is selected in tasksel? I do not think there is a browser and the man and info pages are not very comprehensive. Also, any hints for getting mail working I gues I need to get fetchmail from somewhere as I cannot find it on the system?
