I thought I might be into that...started doing that but then managed to get the debian installer to work on it so didn't need to in the end. I think I'll go down the line of swapping root filesystems from another PC! > Adventurous souls can install a new version of Apex which supports a > writable environment, and then write the new cmdline from userspace > (Phil Endecott wrote a client for doing this). Ooooo...might look into that, too. So far, it looks like everything except 4 of the packages installed on my Slug are in the armel port so I should be able to swap over "properly". (Just about to check out those 4 missing ones.) Cheers, Laz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
