What does your /etc/apt/sources/list file look like? You need to edit the line that reads: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free to read: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free ^^ then you can run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. If you don't want to go all the way with potato, I belive you can just do am apt-get install ppp-whatever and it'll upgrade the necessary packages for you. Check out the man page and /usr/doc/apt for more info. hth -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org
