wholeheartedly agree. Up2date probably can do it but you'll need to read the documentation to find out how. I don't think anyone actually uses it. If I were you I'd install apt-rpm on your server and get it to do this, along with a dist-upgrade in bits and pieces (ie upgrade libc, see if computer still works, upgrade sshd, see if computer still works. After you're convinced the core "keep the computer running" stuff is upgraded, let apt do the rest with dist-upgrade). There is info about apt-rpm on freshrpms. I posted the url in a previous mail. james. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
