As they say: YMMV, here I'm typing on an Ex-Woody upgraded (dist-upgrade !) to Unstable; i.e. one step beyond Sarge. A few things had to be sorted out, but nothing that a newbie (myself !) couldn't manage using apt-get. Now I got a second install (on a notebook): harddisk from knoppix; just up to Testing. Also pretty stable. Rant: Woody didn't install on that notebook (see here & bugreports), but there is no install apart from Woody (I know, the testing, but it also failed on that notebook - reported as well). This rant is not on these failures, but the lack of available, intermediate installers. End of Rant. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
