RE: DO NOT UPGRADE TO POTATO. MENU UPLOAD ON OCT 2 KILLS SYSTEMS
2.1.3-2 is one that does it ... It doesn't totally kill the system .. It seems to start up the various wm's, and they run at about 95% cpu and 88%+ memory for about 2-5 mins (each), but they do die (or finish?) and everything is fine (my worst case, I saw gnome-panel running at 95% for about 3 mins, then wmaker running at that for 3 mins.. (in console mode))... Its an annoyance, but it doesn't kill the system .. (at least on 3 of mine it didn't) Terry Adam == Adam Heath [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Adam I just did an upgrade.

So that's what did that! It was not anywhere near as disastrous as some of the things which update-xaw-wrappers has done to my system. In any case, I grabbed the new menu from incoming.

It would be really nice to e-mail fellow potato users and check for the latest bugs, features, etc. Also... someone commented to me about how unstable debian is. After some clarifications... I realized that he was talking about the potato debian release which was always discussed on the debian-user mailing lists. regards, = == Andre M.

Maybe a debian-design would care of long-terms management and a debian-devel would care of the unstable version specific problems.
