Lots of Dapper Problems

[Bill Atkins]

Well, like I said, the APT problem only exists on my laptop.  My
desktop is still having the sound, GDM, and install CD problems.

The "apt-get -f install" and "dpkg --configure -a" suggestions in
Troubleshooting give me the same errors as any other apt-get
operation.

Thanks,
Bill
