Hi you can download the DVD iso (or you can ask to do it to friends with DSL or cable connection) and upgrade some packages with "apt-get upgrade" - pick attention to packages that apt would remove. Before you need add the cd/dvd to sources.list with "apt-cdrom". bye bye Chiacchiera con i tuoi amici in tempo reale! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/*http://it.messenger.yahoo.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Does this mean that the etch DVDs are now usable? There are still things in etch that are not installable. For instance kde is missing kdewebdev and kdesdk, and gnome is missing rhythmbox, totem, sound-juicer, gnome-media. Those are all helps are missing because some other arches have problems building them. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I currently have a working sarge, but I'm on dial-up so aptitude dist-upgrade isn't practical. The system is also in daily use, so I don't want to attempt an upgrade and then have to spend ages picking up the pieces if it fails. What I normally do is install the upgrade to another partition and dual- boot. When I'm happy with the new version (or distro) I configure it to mount the other partitions (/home etc) and make it the default boot. The sarge that I have installed is a bit of a hack too. The default sarge install kernel didn't recognise my SATA controller, so I had to boot another kernel before installing, which meant that the modules didn't load properly and I had to do some configuration by hand later. So I really don't want to try to upgrade it. Maybe I'll give it a go. I'll let you know the results if I do. Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
