Ethan, As someone who is still a newbie in a lot of the "Debian ways", I am curious. How is 2.2r3 different than doing apt-get update; apt-get upgrade on 2.2r2?
My reasoning would be that doing the apt-get commands would bring you to 2.2r3 by virtue of potato being stable and 2.2r3 being potato. Is my logic flawed here? -rick -----Original Message----- From: Ethan Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 6:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: debian 2.2r3 ?
