    Google could not help with this particular problem. I tried to get 
Googlearth with the apt-get install in a terminal. When the legal thing 
showed up in the terminal you had no way to get it properly sent a yes.
    A member of this list recalled it went easy with synaptic which does 
handle the legal stuff so you can go on. That was what I did and it 
worked. But it was not anywhere I looked including google.
