Thanks for the reply. I currently have a working sarge, but I'm on dial-up so aptitude dist-upgrade isn't practical. The system is also in daily use, so I don't want to attempt an upgrade and then have to spend ages picking up the pieces if it fails. What I normally do is install the upgrade to another partition and dual- boot. When I'm happy with the new version (or distro) I configure it to mount the other partitions (/home etc) and make it the default boot. The sarge that I have installed is a bit of a hack too. The default sarge install kernel didn't recognise my SATA controller, so I had to boot another kernel before installing, which meant that the modules didn't load properly and I had to do some configuration by hand later. So I really don't want to try to upgrade it. Maybe I'll give it a go. I'll let you know the results if I do. Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
