That took care of that issue Eric, thank you....but now I get.... 
Parsing package install arguments 
no match for argument: abiword
I did a list and didn't see it but I have a Star Office 8 on it so it's not a
big deal for now...

Then on an attempted Firefox update it downloaded the 16m and gave me an [Errno
-1] Header is not complete' error message..can you help with that?..sorry if I'm
being dense here and thank your help and patience...J
