well i am not sure how you got my e-mail but i'll play! Linux Mandrake user 10 months now. I am up to V7.0 from 6.0 and lovin it! Realistically though the only reason to upgrade is security or hardware functionallity, but then all you need to do is upgrade the required libs. If your kernel does it's job now without flaw or error then there is no real reason for a complete upgrade. well in my opinion that is. i do have a question for you though, how do i fix a broken DNS resolve? Ok here is the scenario... AMD K6-2 500 PC-100 196MB SDRAM 3COM NIC system up for 29+ days after new board install. network connectivity via cable modem, road runner is the ISP. good fast connetion until yesterday morning around 0600! here is what i can do: I can ping localhost I can ping an IP 24.24.244.24 I can obtain an IP with either the ifup eth0 or /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start commands I CAN'T resolve a DNS i.e - ping www.linux-mandrake.com, will not resolve the IP. all ISP information is correct the NIC is configured correctly and has been running for 28 days without error or conflict. my ISP has reset my account and when I ifup eth0 or /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start i can get an IP and it has been verified by my ISP as correct. I have read all my books (A whole heap of them!) and cannot seem to find an answer that works or addresses my issues. I DO NOT want to shut the system down. I am in an uptime competition with my neighbors NT machine. I am, or was running a firewall along with numerous other security implementations, again this system configuration has not changed in the last month! Have any ideas?

I would want to upgrade without having to trash my present setup. I tried to upgrade from 6.1 earlier this year and some things functioned some didn't, I had to do a clean install to get a full functioning version. It seems this would be a "doable thing" with a distro based on RPM's. vern Denis HAVLIK wrote: > > Hi, folks > > It feels strange when I have to reply to my own message but...
