I am only 76 ;-) but I'm not very likely to get to a meeting now we are living in Yeovil. (and enjoying a download speed of around 4 times faster than I was getting in Bournemouth) PAUL: As for versions of Debian I am using I have just updated my server from Etch to Lenny and it was almost painless even though well over 300 packages got updated or replaced. Booting into a 2.6.26 kernel was a bit more problematic due to udev conflicts with mdadm so I have gone back to the 2.6.18 kernel for now. I also forgot that upgrading grub messes things up so it tries to boot off /dev/sda1 rather than /dev/md0. It took me a while to sort this out (I must make a note of this somewhere as my memory isn't as good as it should be, I had this problem last year sometime and hadn't remembered the solution) My main system has had Sid on it for as long as I have been using Debian (8 years +) as I have just moved the original hard disk from case to case as I have upgraded them. My Compaq laptop has Lenny on it and my new toy, an Asus PC Eee 900, is about to have Lenny installed to replace what was on it when I bought it. -- John Lewis using Debian Sid with windowmaker for a nicer desktop -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
