You should *always* read the release notes first. It is actually rather rare that a release just needs an 'aptitude full-upgrade'. Usually, perl, apt, aptitude, or dpkg should be updated first. In this case, we need a kernel upgrade followed by a reboot. It's not nice, especially since I think that will make this upgrade a two-reboot process instead of the "normal" one-reboot process. Hopefully, this will get addressed in the udev packaging -- *most* of the time programs are required to support running on the previous release's kernel for specifically this reason. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
