Right. I've always figured that was the "purpose" of major revision number changes, to warn of major changes and potential system-breaking incompatibilities. I guess I last did an install of the old sarge net cd, ending up with an etch stable system, in early July, which I thought was after the stable freeze. No need to pursue it, though; I'll just grab a new cd image or two. Ken -- Ken Irving, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
