I am so excited David. When I went to the link you provided, I attempted to
install wine using the suggested code on the page. I copy and pasted the code
just to be sure. It printed numbers instead of what I copied, but I expect
that is what you had in mind. Nonetheless, here is the reply in the konsole:
steven at Yeshua:~$ kdesudo apt-get install 08666851
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
E: Couldn't find package 08666851
steven at Yeshua:~$ sudo apt-get install 08666851
[sudo] password for steven:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package 08666851
steven at Yeshua:~$
Recently I have been advised to use kdesudo instead of sudo; that is the
reason for the 2 attempts. I love e-Sword and have installed it many times,
but it has always been a problem for me. Consequently, I wanted to check with
you before I proceed so I don't screw up again. Thanks for your thoughtful
work on this application; I am anxious to use it.
Blessings,
Steven
