I agree, and if Harry had criticised the CDs then I would have refuted that. But, looking at Harry's problems, none of them were caused by the installation CD which (by luck more than anything) appeared to work perfectly. So, I don't think it is far to complain he used unofficial, unreleased CDs. Had he attempted to instal stable and then upgrade, what would have happened differently? <I'll reply to the other bits in another email> Corrin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6d-cvs (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE8hoT/i5A0ZsG8x8cRAnoEAJ48wvTF6XXl9D6satw6xH96BFX5zgCffDhC Aj2NjE1ha4GSMVbcjmVqMXM= =AAZx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
