Upgraded - so you did an overlay upgrade? I have found that upgrading isn't the best way to go - if you can do a fresh clean install after backing up your data, THAT is the best way to go - else (as in the case of upgrading 9.1 to 10.0) heaps of things just don't work (like sound, video, certain dev packages, etc) -- stephen kuhn __________________________________________________________________ mobile 0410.728.389 GNU/Linux, GPL and OpenSource alternatives for the public __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
