Ahh finally.... someone who's seen the same thing. My post wasn't meant as a gripe, just as an announcement that although YES the new release is cool, NO it isn't yet complete and I'm always leary of installing any system (especially a packagized system such as Debian) when the dist is not fully complete (where dependencies are concerned). I imagine I'll wait for a few weeks and see what the braver members find as they upgrade. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
