installed potato, I upgraded to kernel 2.4.12 without any problems
because I guess potato now has those packages needed to run kernel 2.4.x
too. Then I rebooted and added the apt-sources for woody. I FIRST did a
apt-get install apt-utils .20 MB of packages where downloaded for this.
AFTER that I
Hi All
I'm running Potato 2.2.r3 on a HP Pavilion 5450
(PIII
800 MGZ) with a EN2442 Nic Card that I had to
configure the tulip driver for.
I did a dist upgrade to Woody and keep receiving
the error not preconfiguring the package, apt-utils is
not installed.
