My experience was this: When I started with Potato and went to Woody and then Sid that the apt-get dist-upgrade method didn't work (but using dselect did). But when started with a woody installation the dist-upgrade did work. (Although the network install for woody base was a pain due to hanging mirrors, where I didn't seem to have that with potato). Maybe that's because woody had the upgraded apt and dpkg? -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
