Thank you Osamu Aoki for your go-woody script. Without it I would never have upgraded to woody until it became the stable release. It took 48 hours over a ppp connection - with nobody to hit a return key at times because I was away at work - but it worked.
Thanks dman for your helpful posts - when I screwed up things soon after the upgrade, I went to the mailing lists archive and three of your old postings helped me wriggle out. And finally, thanks to Kevin who pointed out to me that I had inverted the syntax for creating a sym link to get X going. People like you three are one of the reasons Debian is what it is.
