For me, that's the *bug* reason to run testing or etch or sarge or woody but never, never, stable. When sarge became stable I copied my entire woody partition and established sual boot, with a choice of booting the original or the copy. Once both were running, I dist-upgraded one of the copies to sarge. I used a shared /var/mail directory, though, to avoid losing mail until I was ready to settle down with sarge as actually being stable. Good thing I did it that way -- the upgrade was not smooth. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
