I have upgraded from slink to potato, using only dpkg command line just last week. Even though I was a non-believer, I didn't have a _single_ fallout, everything worked like a charm, but I have updated the whole base system as starters. Now, a great majority of my system is potato, but for your reference, here is what I would do as a minimum (_please_ wait until someone else confirms this, I wouldn't want to mess up your system): ldso_1.9.11-4 libc6_2.1.2-5 libncurses4_4.2-3.3 bash_2.02.1-1.8 ncurses-base_4.2-3.4 ncurses-bin_4.2-3.3 dpkg_1.4.1.13 Those packages I installed first, prior to going on with the rest of the base, and I didn't have any problems. I still run Navigator 4.61 compiled for libc6 (because I can't get Navigator 4.7 libc6-2.1 version in a deb package) and StarOffice 5.1 which used to run off libc6. Good luck, damir
