Don't remember and I may have erred. However. I picked
it up on some Kubuntu/Ubuntu related site, I'm sure.

Ok. I can do that.

No. I don't know any. I'm looking for one that will
give me a newer version of mozilla-mplayer than the
v3.17 included in Dapper-6.06-1 distro. I can get the
latest v3.31 from Debian Sid but don't know how it
might affect Kubuntu Dapper-6.0.6-1 installation. Any
comments on this?

Yes, I'll contact Dennis about the mirror not working.
Thanks for your input.
