I was going to ask if one could do this using dselect rather than apt-get dist-upgrade, but concluded that it was a dumb question and that the answer was obviously 'no'. I guess I was wrong. Do you have to do anything special in dselect, or it's just a straight Upgrade? When woody becomes stable, we'll just set our sources.list back to stable and carry on? I'm also confused about kernels. I think I read that there was a choice of kernel versions to use with woody. I guess there's no problem with upgrading to woody using the same old kernel? I assume that dselect doesn't do kernels. Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions after all :-) -- W. Robert J. Funnell, Ph.D., Eng., Assoc. Prof. Dept.
