I just did an upgrade from Debian 2.2r2 (early Potato) to Woody yesterday without any problems. I used "apt-get deselect-upgrade" to do it. One caveat.. it was a very basic Potato install... in fact it was a "base" install without any apps from either dselect or tasksel applied. I would recommend reading the install / upgrade instructions in the release notes first. YMMV. Good Luck! -Don Spoon- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
