Cindy, You might want to try with the .iso file from Bookworm Alpha 2 released last night / this morning. And by that I mean a fresh install / a fresh upgrade to testing. I've just installed several machines with it (and spent a bunch of time testing it last night) The ext4 problem there has been fixed now, for example, and was down to a new version of e2fsprogs All the very best, sa ever, Andy Cater > However this works out, thank you, Developers! > > Cindy :) > -- > Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA > * gettin' giddy about the next new unstable! * >
