A great big THANK YOU for all the help with my python upgrade mistakes. (1) When plugged into a nearby ethernet connection (of course very lucky that there is one), I got connected immediately. From /etc/network/interfaces
> auto lo > iface lo inet loopback > > # The primary network interface > allow-hotplug eth0 > #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp I decided to try working with this file without editing it. (2) The apt-get sequence of instructions seemed to be working all right until apt-get upgrade started to work on the "amd64-image". At that point, it quit, saying "no space left on the device". I have encountered this problem before. I think that, during the initial debian install, I tried to follow some out-of-date disk partitioning advice in the documentation. When the same thing went wrong with a later install on a different machine, I seem to have avoided trouble by just accepting the installer-supplied defaults. Anyway, thanks once again for any help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
