The way I did this was jump in with both feet. I did apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade and then sat back and waited for everything to get snarfed down. Since I'm on a 33.6 dial-up and the ISP occasionally drops the connection on us it took a while. But once everything finally got downloaded it all installed okay. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?" ICQ# 12934898 | "As far from Redmond as possible!"
