Adept Manager said not.  I am more than willing to accept that apt-get is 
better.  I normally resort to aptitude when stalled by Adept Manager - but 
had thought that at least it could search the repositories. :-(  Or perhaps 
my granddaughter's sources list is different?  I may not have enabled 
everything I should have.  Advice on this welcomed.

in a mount command.
But thanks for the reply.
