Hello First, I have the system backuped up. Than with apt-get the Potato Packages file catched from the ftp site.
apt-get -s -u dist-upgrade And that give's some trouble, I think. Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree...

Need to get 0B/133MB of archives. After unpacking 6557kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Must I wait a few weeks or is this because of the splitted/more packages in Potato or will this be in the stable potato the same problem ? Alfred
