Is it 'update', or 'updates'? I wonder if I did the wrong one because after I rebooted all hell broke loose. There were scary messages on boot. X loaded, but when I tried to log in, I was told /home didn't exist! (the message was something like 'you could try to use /root, but it won't work' ;). An upgrade still had problems, so I re-installed (it's handy to have /home is on a separate partition), reinstalled Sylpheed and everything is exactly as it was, bar a few things in /etc. If I got the update switch wrong, would updating from all sources completely fubar my setup like that?
