That's hardly going to help him install kppp. The correct answer is that (for either ppp gui) you need to add "universe" to the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list. Whether it's in Ubuntu or Kubuntu makes no difference if you're getting packages from the Ubuntu archives - they contain all the packages for both versions. It only makes a difference on the distribution CDs (because there isn't room for both on one CD). -- derek -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
