Unfortunately, it looks as if I've missed my chance! While it is easy to add packages from the installer, it seems to be impossible to run the installer later and bring in the packages. (It wants to take over the Ethernet interface, which is of course already in use and needed by others on the system.) How does one bring in packages AFTER installation? --Brett
