I had the same thing happen, I made a clean wipe (I got all twisted up with helix) and tried to "apt-get update" to unstable and I got an error saying something about a package name being to long. After going to frozen then to unstaable the error didn't occur. The first time I upgraded to frozen I got kernel-image-2.2.12 automgically, but that didn't happen this time. Is the kernel version for potato still up in the air? <snip> Later, Dave
