somebody's already suggested that. i don't think it's worth the effort - partly because there is no one-to-one mapping between bo and hamm -dev packages, and partly because it would be a long and tedious job...made more difficult by the fact that you need both a bo system and a hamm system to compare package lists on. i'm not against it. i think it would be a good thing. if somebody feels like modifying the script to do that then they're perfectly welcome to do so. my autoupgrade script was written to do the dangerous part of the upgrade and leave the rest for the user to do in dselect. it does that quite well. imo, except for bugfixes and maybe polishing the user input bits it's basically finished. i ran it earlier tonight on an old rex (or rex++, not quite bo anyway) system, and it even worked on that. craig -- craig sanders -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
