I think this will work: 1. If package xbase is installed, remove it. According to what I have read, it isn't needed any more. 2. Make sure you have a way to get the xfs package so we can re-install it (this will be xfs_3.3.3.1-10.deb if you are running potato) 3. purge package xfs 4. install package xfs 5. choose "config" from dselect or run dpkg --pending --configure Once xfs is purged, it will have to make new configs when re-installed. Note that this is a horrible Microsoft way to do things (re-install), and there is probably a way to make it re-configure, but I don't know it. Hope this helps, Patrick
