I just tried to to the install that the terminal recommended to do in my last post to you which was: sudo apt-get install udo.

I thought maybe you might ask me to install it anywhay so I was trying to help. Maybe I should just wait for your help because this is the output from the terminal:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-mis

I do not want to mess this up. Every time I try to fix something whithout your help it goes bad so I will just wait for your reply and hope to get these bugs worked out of this.

Thank you.
David
