I think step 3.) is necessary. It'll rebuild the caches that apt-get and dselect use to contain the potato info. If you don't the caches, the caches will still have the woody info. Your next apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade will then put you on woody. Of course, if you use the apt-get method in dselect, you only have to run `dselect update`. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
