Seems I may have to find a more recent driver - if possible, that will run with the woody debian, re-install the whole thing or go to new version/distro if necessary The main reason I wanted to use setedit is because I don't want to learn 3 different editors to use with DOS, linux and Windows, so I'll try to stick it out and get things fixed, if possible. Thank you for your help - hopefully I can contribute and help - eventually :-) BTW, if it isn't obvious already, I'm quite new to linux admin work & installation, although I have used it for some time at work, where all those details were sorted out - now it's all up to me :-( Arnold |
