What about You may not need to rebuild a new kernel, this depends on the packages You usually have in use e.g. isdnutils 3.05 You better upgrade the kernel to 2.0.36 whith the kernel-package ( i know the ex. is not correct, actually isdn 3.05 and kernel 2.0.36 are potato-stuff, see it just as a sample, I know no better one ;) ) > suggestions, comments? I have updated from hamm to slink and can comment this as follows. I updated with apt-get dist-upgrade it really works great, my potato-stuff, (only few packages) where not touched or downgraded apt-get recognize the newer potato-stuff :) it tooks my about 6 hours with isdn to download the upgrades and ca. 18 minutes to install after reboot (don't sure if really needed) there was 2 strange things: 1. I have had no xterm 2. no xmodmap I get both of them with apt-get after that all works fine as usual but I'm only a few days at slink-level, only have compiled some stuff (g++; postgres; qt-libes) but it looks like it always looked under hamm ;) I preffered to myself building a new kernel, but I assume it is not necessary. Have good luck cya -- Peter
