As a matter of fact, I did succeed in adding the cdrom as a source.
And I , too, lost SPM entirely and SAS is...well, I'm not quite sure
what's become of it. :) But actually, the upgrade somewhat well
except that certain packages would not, no matter what, install,
namely libwrap0. It also would not install ddd, kbd and moonlight.
Also, even though helix gnome is supposed to be installed, I see
almost no evidence of it. Isn't sawfish the default wm for helix?
And where's the helix-update? It all seems a bit screwy
sometimes since I've upgraded.
Anywho, thanks for getting back to me and I'm happy to hear I'm
not the only one who lost SPM. Be well!
