rc1 stands for release candidate 1. Weekly snapshots are just that - snapshots taken every week or so. Comparatively, rc1 is a bit old but many bugs would have been solved. weekly snapshots contain new code which might also come with new unknown bugs... > > I want to install etch. What images are recommended? Start out with rc1. If that does not work out (say touchpad does not respond etc.,) then try the weekly snapshot or daily snapshots. For most hardware, rc1 will work. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Save on Life Insurance Protect your loved ones with affordable life insurance coverage. http://tags.bluebottle.com/fc/MhtYWUi3MQdH5AF1xQdz7aYyvyrliX55NZcTT/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
