What puzzles me is the fact that I tried to upgrade ONLY those packages on the CD. By now I even deleted firefox 2.0.0.6 and tried to install 2.0.0.12 from the CD - it is not possible! This I find rather annoying as my expectation is not met: For me it doesn't make any sense to order early no more! I will still do it as I believe in Theo and his fellow developers. But no more will there be pride and anticipation for early possesion of the CD's. Once they arrive I will take them with a 'so what?'-feeling and put them aside as I have to wait for the official release date anyway. Upgrading the base system was astonishing easy. But now having to use M$ on the laptop to meet my responsibilities is sad. The next two weeks will be veeeery long... Cheers, STEFAN
