Ludovic, Thank you for your reply. As mentioned, I did a dist-upgrade from Sarge. I can confirm that I am now running Debian 4.0 (Etch). Unfortunately, when I try to check for updates, I have problems with the following packages:
apt apt-utils aptitude The problem I have with all three is that I get an error message that says "a public key is not available", therefore the packages can't be identified. i am asked whether I should install anyway, to which I answer "yes". I get "script" errors when these packages try to configure, and a complaint that "apt-utils is not installed" prevents me from configuing many packages. I am unable to do a "straight" install from CD of Etch, because I am told that the ESP module that supports my CDROM, is broken, and it is not fixed until 2.6.22, which Debian isn't using, yet. In summary, I need to work out how to overcome the "key" problem. It has been suggested that I upgrade my "debian-archive-keyring (I think)", but I am told this is the newest version, already. I would appreciate any help. Many thanks. Cheers, Chris. On 23/07/07, Ludovic Courtès <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Thanks, Ludovic.
