I now understand that, but I didn't this weekend -- when I was installing Debian at home. So far, I will say that upgrading from libc5 to libc6 has required that I completely reinstall two systems (both of which had been going since just previous to Debian 1.1 days). I will not go into detail regarding the problems I had except to say that I didn't HAVE to reinstall, but it surprised me that even a relative Debian verteran was caught up so effectively - I really think that the unpgrade script may solve some of the troubles.
Just had to get a load off - still think Debian is head-and- shoulders above the other distributions (besides, this time I could reinstall and feel good about setting up tripwire and a couple other security measures), Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
