Many thanks for the support.  I have succeeded in installing an app that 
probably consists of less than 200 lines of code.  All I had to do was 
install over 100 megabytes of files to make it work.  Whats wrong with 
this picture?

I was just trying to update music applet to version 2.3.  It is now in 
and running and I suppose I will need all the other stuff I installed 
someday.  After a while linux will be as bloated as windows at this rate.

anyway, thanks again this has always been a good group.
