Just after Potato came out I remember someone setup a webpage detailing how to upgrade a RedHat system directly to potato. IIRC it required changing /etc/passwd and /etc/groups manually, compiling dpkg from source, then installing enough debs to get apt, and finally using apt to upgrade the system. I don't know the URL though. - Tal -- Tal Danzig | Libranet GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.libranet.com GPG Fingerprint: 8BE6 B973 BC1C 0CA0 CEE5 4874 C741 0BD5 B3A2 5512 Public key available from wwwkeys.pgp.net
