i decided to see what i could get upgraded tonight and have done it in layers. mainly i wanted to make sure that anything removed was being replaced and that my desktop would still be usable and that seems to have happened. so far it seems to have gone well but i'm on the last 400 packages (it takes me a bit to download since i'm not on a super-fast connection). with how things have gone so far i don't expect any hiccups. i <heart> Debian and testing aka trixie. :) thanks to all in the Debian community who have gotten this done. songbird
