No, I installed woody's apt, and apt-utils first, as I did read that potato's apt didn't do pinning. You're right though, I'm don't think I'll bother with a mixed system, too much hassle. One thing I know will work fine, is using the machine purely as an X terminal, using another faster machine with more ram to run the actual applications. Kind of defeats the purpose of a laptop though I guess, as in that case it would be tied to the lan to run X. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
