I upgraded to lenny in order to get the nv driver that would recognize my nvidia 8600 card - I simply could not get it to play with etch. Haven't got around to plugging it in after the upgrade, so I can't say if it works. Maybe this weekend... > Any reasons not to upgrade? I had problems with KDE's fish protocol (file browsing etc over ssh). Solved them by staying at an older kernel. Expect those to be ironed out soon. That was all. I had recently installed etch, coming from 32-bit mode. The upgrade was as painless as you could hope. Change your sources, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade. No fuzz. Been happy with it the past few days. Still need to sort out some things that need to be run 32-bit (flash, java?, video codecs for xine, ...), but those problems were the same on etch. (anyone have a good howto that is up to date with lenny? Most I find on the net are somewhat older) Regards Heikki -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
