Go to http://www.debian.org, Developer's Corner, and read libc5->libc6 Mini Howto. Then get the upgrade script mentioned in the same place and run it first (it will use ftp to upgrade a few packages in a particular order). After that, you can use dselect to finish the upgrade process. Find a mirror close to you because this upgrade via ftp will take some time. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The current version is 0.27, and may be gotten from http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/ or http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/. There is also a README for the autoup script in that location. Also on that site is autoup.tar.gz, which is a tarball of all the packages that are needed by the script. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.
