^^^ This is an important tip. ^^^ It is often the case during dist-upgrades (especially unconventional ones) that you need to run apt-get dist-upgrade several times before all the changes go through. Also, this is one of the few times where rebooting *may* be necessary before you see all the changes. Advanced users will know that it is possible to re-initialise all services on a running Debian system, but quite frankly it may be easier for newbies to reboot. It is really important to re-run apt-get until it tells you that all packages are the latest versions (it's OK for some packages to held back) before rebooting. _Never_ attempt to reboot a potentially broken system. cheers, tim _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
