In theory (and also in practice) each package in the debian distribution should be easy to upgrade. The only really bad thing could be that a critical package is in a that bad state that it is not upgradable. But I consider this as very very unlikely (due to the long test cycle). > I don't really want to wait until the release, but I don't want to > reinstall everything from scratch in a week or two either. > If you have a kind of standard installation (i.e. something like a home desktop) it should work very well. The documentation might be not that good at the moment. But that is a good place to help.... --Rainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
