There's an article that might help: http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=880 It may be more painful for you, though, since sarge now is quite ahead of woody. I once did a downgrade from sid->sarge, basically I just uninstalled everything besides the most basic stuff, and then I started a process of doing apt-get install -t stable on them (sort of automated it by processing dpkg -l's output), working out individual problems as they came along, using apt-get install -f, etc. It took a bit of manual labor I guess you'd say, but it worked out pretty well for me. -- Nick Welch aka mackstann | mack @ incise.org | http://incise.org Trying to establish voice contact ... please ____yell into keyboard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
