Look forward all you want.....the problem NoOp mentioned, and which I 
responded to, was all to do with Maverick. Repeat: *Maverick*. That is, 
Ubuntu 10.10 which was made available today as Ubuntu 10.10 Release 
Candidate, before 10.10's final release on 10 October.

Are you with me, Tree Person? :-) .
