maybe someone should make apt-get print out a big warning saying once you do a dist-upgrade you can't go back.. everytime ive seen this question asked(im not a testing/woody user or a sid/unstable user) the answer has always been no. apparently a new version of apt in unstable may be able to downgrade, but i dont think it would work unless you upgraded originally using that version of apt .. in short looks like u gotta reinstall if u want potato back..unless u want to grab a list of your installed packages and try to do a buncha dpkg -i --force-overwrite's but that is probably dangerous. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
