You obviously belong on the Debian development team, since woody is extremely stable. :-) Only a debian developer would consider it not-ready-for-primetime. ... >>There is no such beast.

I can't imagine why they would have gone to the trouble of creating a server for 3.3.6 when it's been possible to install XFree86 4.x for ages (can't actually remember when it was first available in a reasonably stable form, but I know it was back when I was still playing with Corel Linux). Installing woody, 2.4.16-586, and XFree86 4.1 would still have been easier... -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
