Lesson learned? NO MORE XIMIAN, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Man, that was annoying. Anyway, I have returned to Redhat 7.3 on my root filesystem (saved my home directories, music and games on other partitions) and while I have the 8.0 stuff in the list, everything I want to upgrade requires 200+ RPMs. I'm not opposed to this, but apt is. "apt-get dist-upgrade" dumps core. What's the inside secret here, or do I just start searching mirrors for the ISO and get over it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Fahrländer Linux Zealot, Conservative, and Technomad Evansville, IN My Voyage: http://www.CounterMoon.com ICQ 5119262 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just machines, to make big decisions- programmed by fellas with compassion and vision.
