This is terribly embarrassing. First let me apologize for the 'godammit' post. The problems are real enough, but this particular list was meant more as a checklist than anything else and was not supposed to be sent anywhere. Gotta be more careful.
That having been said, let us deal with the problems. I would guess that the first order of business would be to upgrade to Etch, which I assume is Debian 3.more-than-one or 4.something. I further assume that pointing /etc/sources.list at the relevant location, and I am not certain what that location might be although it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out, than apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade would do it, perform the change from 3.1 to whatever. If I am correct, then that is what I will try. Also, I am not new to computers or, for that matter, to confusing documentation. Years ago I programmed an IBM/360-75 mainframe using the OS os and a Control Data 6600 using MASTER (Multi Access Shared Time Executive Routine. I just used it, I didn't name it). Thanks to all who offered help. The reason I am not responding through the boards is trouble with the set-up. Whether on my end or my provider, I am not yet certain. __________________________ Stops spam 100% for your email accounts or you get paid. http://www.cashette.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
