 Nils,   

I get the same failed to fetch cdrom.....  but that is not relevant, so it 
works otherwise just fine.  Sorry I bothered you with this, but usually, I 
don't have the foggiest idea what to do with warnings that appear in the 
konsole, but now I have a little understanding, so when I am confused, I don't 
mind asking; it usually results in learning something, good or bad, that I can 
retain.

Getting to this point has been a long time coming, now I may be able to learn.  
You wouldn't be able to see the change in me, but I use the terminal a lot 
now, as first choice when installing also some problem solving.

Alt+f2 has become my friend, and as I remember the names of packages 
accurately, it has sped things up in that respect.  Your council has helped; 
my gratitude remains, my friend.  Thanks again.
