Thanks I am using Konqueror in KDE 3.1 from my knoppix box to post this "Thank you"! Without your help with the dpkg --force overwrite -i filename I wouldn't be using it right now!!

I couldn't get the dpkg --force configure -i ...to work so I used dpkg --force overwrite -i ...and then dpkg --configure -a.

Thanks a bunch, I have some font problems but I still have a bunch of files that need to be upgraded, I used apt-get intall kdebase to get started, and now I need to get everything up to KDE 3.1.

BTW on my system by just upgrading kdebase Helmet was about the only readable font, almost everything else was a hard to read script font, but all should be well tomorrow morning after an apt-get upgrade.

Thanks again,

rock
