NO. :) You might have to do a bare minimum of tweaking, but I had a full slink here and an Adaptec SCSI-II card that has needed a custom kernel in the past and I can say that, slow modem aside, it was relatively painless. Think of it this way. A, you need the latest software, B, Debian needs guinea p^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hbeta testers. > anyway, can someone run down the steps to upgrading?

I have had great luck with the following: deb ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com:/.1/linux/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US/ potato/non-US main ftp.freesoftware.com is the Linuxy side of the BSD-aligned ftp.cdrom.com. It is about three time as fast as ftp.us.debian.org. You need this speed, I'm sure. When you're mostly upgraded, you can point to debian.org again for the VERY latest. -- i'm determined to stand, whether god |=| [EMAIL PROTECTED] will deliver me or not. -- bob dylan |=| www.cris.com/~bedlam
