Debian is one of the few systems which is easily "hot" upgraded. do you have a lot of 3rd party packages installed on the potato system? If so this can complicate the upgrade in some circumstances. The file you attached doesn't give much information. How did you go about trying to upgrade? or reinstall? did you reformat the partitions? Did you try doing the apt-get dist-upgrade route ? I've upgraded about 30 systems from potato to woody, only had 1 problem which was due to flaky memory(took about 20 minutes to work around, system's been running fine since). Other then that it's been flawless. Debian has the smoothest upgrading I've ever used. what problem(s) are you having specifically when installing? nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
