I'm hoping one day that I'll be samrt and actually make a back-up of my system before trying stuff like upgrading again. You should always have backups. If you are running unstable, you should make the backups NOW. You never know what is going to happen in the next upgrade. Better be parano

First of all, thanks to everyone who responded. Using dpkg is just what I needed to do. However, I now have run into a new problem. I've installed the gcc, binutils, make and patch packages and their dependancies. I patched the 2.0.35 kernal. I followed the instructions at the kernal.org web

Re: Catch-22 - Help!

You can always (under win95) go to the debian ftp site and download any .deb package, then boot linux and mount the windows partition. Then cd to the directory with the .deb and do a dpkg -i filename.deb. My system has a windows partition, and I have that listed in my /etc/fstab so it is mounted
