Good luck. My upgrade from Sarge to Etch fried libc6 and it was faster to just reinstall to Etch directly than to try to fix it. I did the same thing going from Potato (2.2) to Woody (3.0) although Woody to Sarge (3.1) went OK. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
