    <crosses fingers>  Thank you!  I'm assuming  that's "force" the 
copy.  I have no acccess to Linux, at the moment.  I'm blind as a bat 
and can't see at all what I'm doing.  I can boot it up, wait, type 
"root" and the password, etc., and then give it the three-finger salute 
to let me know that it has shut down (or at least it has reset).  I'm 
trying to get it running from WinXP, of all things. <grins>  I've 
written a script to copy some files from CD, and execute update-modules 
and apt-get install the sound server and espeak.  Hopefully, it'll all 
work.  At least Debian makes the task somewhat easier with the 
update-modules script.  I need the "force" option out of the cp command, 
because I can't respond yet to what happens on screen.

    Thanks again,

        Michael
