Hi Glenn
Yes i have tried this and i get:
This: not found
I think there is something fundamentally wrong with my install? I 
started acting up when i tried to do a sysintall upgrade which didnt 
complete (perl and others wouldnt install for xorg i think). Ive learnt 
a lot in the past few weeks though. and thanks for your help. i really 
appreciate people helping out cos im really new at this. Dumped windows 
for os x and got free bsd on my old windows machine to play with.
