No, you can simply use apt-get if you have network running (or use apt-get in offline mode from a second Debian GNU/Linux installation). If you want to take advantage of using a bigger / partition you need to backup/restore and/or reinstall GNU/Hurd though, of course. That should normally not be needed at all. glad it worked so well for you, Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html
