I agree. I would suggest to install just "apt" as first package for "apt-get install". (This automatically pulls libc6 and most key packages but not to cause mass updates). Having new apt-get command from woody provides much better control. See my web page for woody transition. http://qref.sf.net/quick/ Follow link to the woody upgrade. This also talks about how to set up /etc/apt/preferences. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/ +
