As I have said, my version is the one that comes with slink, i. e., version 4.8.1-0.1. I have added some potato packages that were required to run the kernel v2.2.10. (I needed that to take care of my old '97 BIOS which feels it should garble the data it gets from my 10 GB harddisk and advertise it as an 8.4 GB drive.) If anyone out there is running a slink system, has the version of "most" installed that came with it (or could install it for a few seconds :->) and would be so kind to tell me if "most <file>.gz" works, that might help. :) If it doesn't, I'd try installing the unstable potato version to see whether that gives an improvement. I have the feeling that it might be due to one or more of the updated potato packages, although dselect didn't complain about any mismatched versions or dependencies that weren't met. TIA, Matt
