Alexander,
Thanks for the help.

OK, I've switched to a UK mirror (mirror.ac.uk).

OK - thanks for the tip.

Yes, I confess, I do over use the root account, and run Gnome desktop as
root.
I do know its bad, but I'm happy to do it.
Should it be a case of NEVER do this ?

Not sure what that is.
I run sendmail, and use Kmail to read the /var/spool/USER mail boxes.

Its a Logitech 3 button mouse - quite standard.
As the system boots, it flashes the LED's, five times.
It does this at two stages of booting.
I searched for what the 5xLED flash means, but I can't find anything (any
url's ?).
I assume it is linked to the mouse, as everything else works/boots fine
(keyboard is OK),
just the mouse does not respond.
John.
