Currently the best way to do what you want to do _IS_ to upgrade as opposed to do a reinstall.
You want to use the 'autoup.sh' script file to start the process. Note that the 'mountable' access method might still have some problems intitially when you use dselect (after the autoup.sh has completed). Once deselect has completed the basic upgrade though, it should be 'pretty smooth sailing'. Check http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html (the autoup.sh script does all of this stuff but it does not hurt to check things out a little in advance). You can get the script from: ftp,http://stormcrow.ml.org/pub/debian/autoup/ ftp,http://stormcrow.ml.org/pub/debian/autoup/ ftp://ftp.massart.edu/mirror/storm/debian/autoup/ Also, if you installed the specially compiled for bo bash 2.01 package be CERTAIN that you look back through the recent archives (this month) for note about the upgrade process -- the upgrade WILL fail. -- best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: "The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!"
