Well what does mysql_install_db do exactly? Certainly hitting control-c rebooting to 2.6 and having dpkg finish the configuration seems to have worked. Of course given I didn't have data in mysql before, it is hard to say if an upgrade would have worked perfectly. > Or is there some mechanism that tells the user first to upgrade to a 2.6 > kernel then reboot and then update the rest of the packages? None that I know of. You can depend on a package being installed, but you can't depend on a certain kernel beign installed and running. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
