I have switched from 3.0 standard to 3.0 base but would like to install the sticky notes program that was in the standard edition. I haven't been able to find it in the repositories. Anyone know where i can find it?

I have knotes listed in http://us.archive.ubuntu.com under main, and a bunch others under universe.

i tried knotes but it is different to the sticky notes that came with standard, no?

I don't have a sticky notes, so I don't know, but you can try any of the other dozen or so that come up when you search the universe repo for sticky notes.

isnt this tomboy?

Thanks i'll take another look at Tomboy.

Pardon my ignorance but how do i access these universe repos?
I only know how to use Synaptic and Add Remove Programs, is this what you mean?

Thanks for your time.

yes, Tomboy should be accessible from your Synaptic.
