   First off, I cloned my Ubuntu 24.04 HD first and confirmed all was good.   
      
   Now, with my old drive, I decided to experiment and see if I could   
   remove packages so I'd have a minimal installation and of course,   
   removed the network manager and now I'm off line and cannot easily   
   reinstall.   
      
   Since I'm dual booting with Mint, I can easily enough download packages   
   I need, then boot back to Ubuntu to install them.   
      
   Problem is, I am unable to install anything due to unmet dependencies.   
      
   Is there some .deb meta package I can download to reinstall network   
   capabilities.   
      
   Hey, it's raining today and I needed another project.   
      
   Last night I did an SCO-Unix install on an old machine just so I could   
   play a certain text-based game.
