And backup to whole of /etc Then run the sarge install. Choose to reformat all partitions apart from the /home partition if that is where your data is. (If you're running DB's or some email servers there may be data in /var). Then carefully re-adding your users accounts -(using the uid switch to match the /home directory if needed) should get you back to a sarge system.

Add hardware to an existing system
Something I've never known how to do?!?! Say I've installed Etch (which looks as good as Ubuntu BTW) on to a PC - and I then need to install a new graphics card and a DVD burner. Now I take it that during installation the hardware was detected and the various modules were selected and loaded. How to I tell the system to load the new modules required?

this is plain weird - very slow access for non-microsoft browsers
Hi, In the office here we have an XP laptop, MAC with OSX and my main Debian workstation. This is on a static IP address which is connected to via two Netgear routers. The DG632 connects to the ADSL. An FVS318 which acts as a main VPN/firewall router which connects to the DG632 - and the LAN connects to the LAN ports on the FVS318. Everything works fine - except the browsers on the MAC and the Linux box are not getting some sites. :o/ The browsers on the Win XP laptop work fine - no speed problems at all - but all sites accessed via the Mac or Linux browsers are slow or will timeout. The routers did have firmware upgrade but I've swapped them out for other Netgear routers and the same problem is there. Anyway, surely a formware upgrade would not effectively filter out non-MS broswer traffic surely? Any clues greatfully received, Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

3D broken in unstable ?
I recently upgraded a couple machines running unstable, which I guess picked up X 4.3.0. Now, neither can do hardware 3D rendering. (Yes, they could before the upgrade.) One has an old 3dfx using DRI, one a new Nvidia using ... whatever Nvidia uses. I noticed a migration from xlibmesa3 to xlibmesa. Did I just pick the wrong packages ? Is there a package I'm missing ? I did have to add xlibmesa-dri myself. Or is there some silly comfiguration change I have to make ? Is anyone else seeing this ? I'm getting libGL.so from xlibmesa-gl.

Won't recognize CD-RW
