Sure way to do this: make a backup. for those you chose, restore the config from backup. It's also a great way to do away with old cruft. Sometimes programs evolve, become more capable, which also means it might be a good time for checking the config again. Best example /e/a/sources.list :) > What is the solution and where is this described? > > Thanks for your help to this silly problem. > Cheers, -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
