Install the 1.2 base and only the packages you need for networking. You will have fewer questions to answer when installing the packages from 1.3 if they are fresh installs. If you look at the version numbers on that CD and those in 1.3 you will see that not most packages from 1.2 that you install will be replaced by newer versions. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Special Linux CD offer + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
