I've upgraded about 10 servers from potato to woody and had no serious problems. Upgrading libc6 and apt-utils is a very good idea. If you are going to do any sort of 'pinning' on the machine, I'd recommend putting a newer apt on the box and making your /etc/apt/preferences file. Other than that, upgrade away -- it sounds like you have it under control. Tony Wasson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
