don't need to. if your sources.list has references to 'stable' (as opposed to potato) just run apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade no reboot required, no new kernels will be installed unless you specifically request it. I've upgraded about 30 systems from potato to woody and had flawless results for al of them except 1(which was due to bad memory, I was still able to recover it manually within about 20 minutes). in all cases I run my own kernels so I do not request a kernel upgrade from my friend apt-get if your sources.list references potato, change it to say stable instead(or woody if you want to be safe, to prevent an accidental upgrade when the next 'stable' comes out.) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
