[ale] Fw: HOW2 resolve aptitude conflict ?

[courtneycthomas at bellsouth.net (Courtney Thomas)]

Thanks so much James. The link looks good.

By the Debian channel, I assume you mean the IRC link you
formerly mentioned. I've never done IRC. Any pointer to how
I can with maximum speed become IRC functional  ?

As far as which route I want to go, I'll take any that'll get
this box's new kernel installed  :-)

Am I getting a lack of other response in this matter because:

1-I'm hopelessly bogged  :-)

2-this is a highly complex matter to which few are privy ?

3-few members of ale are conversant with the intricacies of Debian ?

4-it's so time consuming to deal with this that even those in-the-know
   don't want to get involved  ?

or what  ?

Cordially,
Courtney
