Hello All Just did a sarge -> etch upgrade.
Aptitude update , upgrade complained about libfam0 problems and stopped. apt-get worked. Although I have in the passed disabled inet using the documentation on securing debian howto and this seemed to cause problems with the upgrade netbase-inetd stopped with errors and caused ppp, pppconfig, cupsys to fail to configure. Installing openbsd-inet cured that problem. I had upgraded because I wanted a preemptive kernel just to find it isnt preemptive. Is there likely to be a preemptive kernel available when etch is ready. I know I can compile it myself, I just feel there is a need for it to be ready and available out of the box straight from install. Obviously I will compile one myself but for newcomers they may look elsewhere, which would be a shame. On my hardware a fully functional desktop is still a problem (eg music and video) without a preemptive kernel so if debian is aiming at this sector then a preempt kernel would be most welcome.
