Perhaps it is cutting out users who join the project with woody's original release. You don't fall into this category. You *can* install 3.3.6-11potato18 though, which is probably pretty damn close to the 3.3.6-18 you miss so much. > Games like tribes 2 won't be running on DRI, what will you thin debian > users will say to that?

Could you please rephrase that, and more directly apply it to your case of not putting the 3.3.6 packages on hold? > I'm going to have to reinstall X and all my X dep apps tomarrow, and I > hate knowing even after expressing concern agian on the issue of utah - > I've wasted 2 days fixing it, yet I'm going to have to manually alter my > status database to lock out debian X anyway. Oh man, I remember when I had a slow internet connection. Thank god for AT&T and their cable connections! :) Downloading the new X packages takes only a few minutes, and I imagine the old X packages would download just as quickly for me. All the best to you and your poor modem. :) -- ``Oh Lord; Ooh you are so big; So absolutely huge; Gosh we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you.''
