Hi I have downloaded and installed the iso from Shane. This is the speakup enabled version so not sure how up to date I am? I am in the process of trying to get mail working. I have a couple of questions. I would like to use nano as the default editor. I found some archive on the list about this but following the instructions did not seem to make things happen. Just wondering which file I should be putting the default editor in as I have found both .bashrc and .bash_profile mentioned. Also, should there be a colon at the beginning of the lines? Also, I am trying to use exim4 to send mail. The messages appear to be sent but are not delivered. Perhaps someone could point me to a debian for dummies or something similar? Many thanks Keith Barrett gw4nby
