The OP was referring to the officially recommended way to upgrade between distributions; see the sarge release notes on upgrading. But I would recommend you to give aptitude another chance. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I wouldn't want to miss it again. cheers, Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

AFAIK dselect gets removed from debian. apt-get is deprecated. aptitude is the tool to be used. Bye, Ratti An aside: I sincerely hope that apt-get does not go away. Aptitude has *a long* ways to go before it is very useful to me. It reminds me of dselect - clumsy and not very efficient. I could have a package found and installed using apt-get before I even began to guess which subheading it is hiding under in aptitude. To me aptitude is just an unwanted step-child of dselect - which I didn't like either. That is just my 2 cents worth of course. Everybody else in the world is free to disagree. If you know the name of a package apt-get has its merits, but then the 'search' function of dselect (forward-slash key) or aptitude works quite well also, if you know the package name. Aptitude has a very powerful search feature. You can search both package name and description as well as over 10 other conditions (which they call terms). I must say that I had to read the entire aptitude manual inorder to apprieciate what it could do. Of course I like and use dselect :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
