Of course I understand that there is a difference between snapshot and release. 5.5 didn't recognize the network hardware, so I had to use a snapshot. I got the CDs yesterday (by chance). > Any please don't try to install a current 5.6 snapshot and use it like > it was a 5.6 release. Please don't do that. > If I got Theo correctly then there is no such thing as a "5.6 snapshot", but a snapshot built from the CVS development branch, which might include some code for future releases beyond 5.7 or even purely experimental code. Hopefully you agree that the file name "snapshots/amd64/install56.iso" is misleading? Looking at the file name I had assumed/hoped there is some kind of upgrade path from the "install56.iso" snapshot to the 5.6 release. My mistake. Regards Harri
