OK, I hold my hands up, I can't remember what version I started from or what the interim version was, all I can say is that it was definitely 8.xx and it's now 10.04 and all I did was use the Upgrade Manager to upgrade from 8.xx to 9.xx to 10.04. I'm pretty damn certain that it was 8.04 to 9.04 to 10.04 but I didn't write it down so i can't check. If someone can tell me what log file to look in I will report exactly what happened. -- Cheers Peter -- Next meeting: Crown Hotel, Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-11-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
