Thanks fo Amos, Baruch and Tzafrir for their answers. I shall try their ideas at home, where, besides more time, I have and installation of mixed debian (testing and unstable) dedicated to learning the system. In this way I can try "in my free time" new, sometimes not fully understood ideas, without spoiling the instalation I use for applications. When I feel confident I understand what I am doing, I use them there as well. Which brings me to two questions: 1-Downloading automately all the new stuff requires a pretty large /var directory. It's on a separate partition, in my system. How large should that be? 2-When running ahead with upgrades, it happens from time to time that the new version misbehaves and you wish to return to the previous one. Cna you recommend a convenient way to find out what has changed in order to be able to revert it. For the moment I use the tee command to save all information from install in files, but it's rather unpractical. Thanks again, Avraham
