hello, i have two boxes, both that were storm installs - i had storm cd's and not 'net connection! my box on the 'net (now) was a storm install that i changed the sources.list to point to potato, then apt-get dist-upgraded.... or was it just an upgrade? i guess it should have been a dist-upgrade, but i think i just did apt-get upgrade. my box at home, which is offline (ironically), was a storm install and is now running woody! the only big issue you'll need to watch out for is gnome... storm uses helix gnome... which i have on hold on my potato box. at home, i just pruged gnome and installed the gnome from debian's servers instead. you should have an example of a sources.list in: /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list make a backup of your current list then copy the new one into /etc/apt/ in it's place. remember to apt-get update then apt-get upgrade. i later learned of the -s option with apt... simulation. try an apt-get -s upgrade and see what it will do. good luck, jason -- registered linux user #202942 http://counter.li.org/ ---------------------------- http://www.theigloo.dhs.org
