Well, I have my doubts about this being the easiest way. Personally, if I were going to try and upgrade X, and wanted to stick to potato, I'd try the xfree86-4.0.2 debs Charl Botha was kind enough to create for potato. You can get 'em with apt too. Just read: http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/xf402_potato/READ.THIS I have *NOT* tried this myself so, along with Charl himself, I can't make any guarantees! Seems to me it couldn't be any worse than a full-blown upgrade to woody, but who knows. Gary
