Solution 3 looks too complicated for my level of Linux ability. I don't know how to build a package. Solution 1 is something that i could do, but seems like a lot of work: individually remove 30 packages, download 30 new ones, copy to a keydisk to transfer to the faulty computer and manually install each one of them. If i do that, is there any special order to follow in the last step? Solution 2 seems like the least complicated one *for me*. I would just have to install one package? I don't know if building a tdebase for me on your builder is a lot of work *for you* or not. If it involves only little work, I would appreciate. You could send it to my email address above. Otherwise, let me know asap and I will go for solution 1. Thanks again, Marc
