hmm "apt-get update" only gets the list of new packages from the servers not dangerous...in fact I do it almost daily! maybe you are thinking of apt-get dist-upgrade? I have done this (over a 33.6 modem!) a few times. it works great too (btw DO NOT do that right now with slink...it should be fine if you have apt pointed to stable (hamm) but slink is a bit broken.. i did it last night and eneded up restoring from tape backup before the night was through) but...thats not apt's fault -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
