I do upgrade pretty much daily. I meant that if I reinstall manually, that's a lot of packages, and if I reinstall in some automatic way (e.g. get-selections) then I may just recreate the same problems, depending on installation order. I've had a number of bugs, some of which I've reported, which seem to be 'just me'. My Firefox currently crashes tabs on most e-commerce or other complex sites, and I can't see anyone else with the same problem. I think I have an old and crufty system which needs a complete clean out. A manual reinstall, of course, it would be spread out over time, installing packages as I need them. Probably no more than half are in regular use. It's still a job I'm putting off. -- Joe
