> Subject: How do you "move to testing/etch"?
You may already know this, but just in case you don't . . .you need to understand that the decision to track testing instead of stable or unstable is a serious one, with potentially serious hazards. Many people have the concept in their heads that testing is a fairly robust distribution that's less risky than unstable -- something like "more current than stable, but less dangerous than unstable." That isn't true, because that isn't the purpose of testing. When things break in testing, they can often stay that way for an extended period of time -- viz. two occasions last year when first GNOME, and then KDE, were uninstallable out of testing, and broken for those tracking testing closely, for more than a month in each case. That's not because of the developers doing anything wrong; it's just the nature of what testing is. If your reason for wanting to upgrade to testing is because you see it as splitting the difference between stable and unstable, you need to read about what testing is and how it's (automatically) put together. OTOH, if you already knew all the above, cool, sorry for being long-winded, maybe it'll be helpful to someone else. -c -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
