I am baffled by some odd behavior, which seem to have started after I upgraded to the frozen/potato dist of debian-sparc. I have no reason to believe that the distribution itself is responsible for any of the particulars, but I'd like to check. Is there an easy way to check.
I have ideas, but I suspect they are all bad ideas. 1. Install an old version on a different disk/partition. (I have spare disks and partitions - I'm just not sure how to do this.) 2. resinstall slink from CDs and upgrade again. repeat as needed. sounds like too much work. 3. change the /etc/apt/sources.list to the previous version. I don't believe this sufficient and even it was I suspect I'd be wasting lots of bandwidth. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
