Dennis a million thanks - i just checked and sure enough dselect defaults to the /stable directories - no doubt you are entirely correct !!! surely many of the /stable packages are the same as the frozen dist and so i do not wish to download yet again everything (8-10 hours MINIMUM). are you aware of method by which i can ask dselect to remake the default choices and only download new packages and upgrade existing - i assume this would be substantially quicker ??
if i have downloaded, essentially, the bo distribution will autoup do this ??? Since I don't think you downgraded your base files you won't need to run autoup. I think dselect will fix thing since you changed it to download from the hamm distribution. Dselect will only download/upgrade needed packages, so it may require the 8-10 hour download. Sorry if that be the case... but good luck! thanks again for your help No problem.
