That's a perfectly normal thing to do - have newer versions of a couple of programs, with most of the system being stable. Aside from the lack of testing things should work reasonably well - the dependancy information in the packages works across releases. The main sticking point would be packages using glibc2.1 - they need you to install glibc2.1, which is a bit dodgy in places at the moment. Depending on how vital your system is, you might want to wait for that to settle down a bit before installing it. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
