Thanks, Angelin I'm curious about your problem. It appears that you have a 'work-around', but not a solution. Like I said earlier, I'm aware of there being a naming problem in squeeze, but I'm surprised and somewhat alarmed to here evidence of it having leaked into lenny. Are you using any backports? The kernel version numbers that you are running seem to be appropriate for lenny, but can you also tell me the contents of /etc/debian-version ? Lenny is supposed to be "stable" and should not suffer from undocumented "upgrades", which this appears to be. I am having a number of issues in squeeze, and was on the verge of reverting a computer from squeeze to lenny when I read you post. Now I wonder if that would be any help for my problems. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
