I finally upgraded to slink, and everything seems fine; there were only minor glitches in the upgrade---I had to install telnet and telnetd manually, for instance. (Thanks to Jason Gunthorpe for advice about using multiple CD's with the new apt.)
There's a new message when I boot, though: lspci not found, so PCI resource conflict not checked This didn't appear before the upgrade. I see that lspci is contained in the pciutils packages, but according to the information in the Packages file, that package requires kernel version 2.1.82 or higher. I'm running 2.0.35. Anyone know why this message is appearing? Any advice? Thanks, Jim
