Well it took a re-boot to get sympatic to work. But then it worked
fine and I got Googlearth and libdvdcss installed. These make me happy.
I will try for other things now and learn how sympatic works. It sure
did show the legal stuff with a place to click yes. The apt-get install
method will not work if you need to do the legal stuff.
