Ivan, Using dselect again, I attempted to gain the toys/games back. That resulted in a large loss of what I had just installed - guess it wasn't a sanitary idea. Dselect is again downloading all the packages to RE-install. I don't understand how I am supposed to snag the toys/games for 2.1 - or is this what you are saying - they are not going to work on 2.1?
