If you are useing dselect that is all. You need to make sure you update the database too. But I would recomend doing and apt-get update && apt-get install apt apt-utils dselect && apt-get dselect-upgrade after this your system should be just fine. But also remember it may remove some of your stuff and possibly even break your X server. I think you also need to install xbase-clients and xserver-xfree86. I would also recomend checking a recent thread on debian-devel about the upgrade process. basically they recomended that you do a dpkg --get-selections before and afterward to make sure you kept all your packages and dont go to use something one day and find its not there. Just a basic suggestion that will reduce any worries. I hope this helps. -- -Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
