Hi, John,
Thanks for that. That will come in very useful. Sorting out how to burn CDs
at the CLI is on my list of "to do"s but I hadn't yet got round to it. There
are several things that I choose to do at the command line as a result of
your help, and I really appreciate that help.
But the case I mentioned was for someone else and the missing packages were
only an "aptitude install" away. :-)
It just seemed strange that things as basic as those had not been included as
standard.
