Find a friend with a CDR and burn the Release Candidate 1 ISO images. If you want to migrate away from a Progeny system to a vanilla Debian system, then you need to bite the bullet and do a "dist-upgrade". You also need to sit down and get more comfortable with the basic tools at hand: dpkg(1), apt-get(1), and apt(1). Be prepared to rely on a small Linux boot disc like your Debian Recovery Disc (disc 1 of the install floppies), tomsrtbt (use google...I'm lazy right now), or the Linuxcare Bootable Business Disc. Don't come around asking if going from Progeny to Debian will break your system. Obviously it will to some extent. Are you willing to work to bring your system back to a state of your liking... Just a note. I have never been unable to recover from an upgrade or dist-upgrade problem. I know my tools. * HINT -- RTFM and get comfortable with your system * -- ^chewie Sorry about not signing my email...I can't get access to my home workstation today. CCW-20010320
