Thanks again Lee. Good job. Thats a very useful and versatile package 
indeed. I just did as you said and pulled the old one out with Synaptic and 
installed the new one. All seems to work fine. I will be changing a couple 
of machines here to M11 and also Antix on older machines. That will be 
interesting to try also with limited resources on older clunkers.
