I might do that - in fact I went ahead and "did" it - but aborted at the end, saved the session in a typescript so I can tell what it's planning on doing. Seems to me though it is removing too many packages, and I have the line "busy" handing a FC6 bittorrent -just to see what it's like, dunno if I'll really go Fedora - kind of doubt it, but what the hell. But maybe I'll rerun aptitude dist-upgrade and see what happens, like you said. It seems, though, that I'll still have to reconfigure or reinstall x11-common and other X11R7-related packages. AFAICT, dpkg --configure -a complains that it can't get to the X include files -- that they're pointing to the right place. The X11R6 'bin' directory was relatively clean - the only "non-X" package that I had in there was opera. So, ATM, /usr/X11 points to ../X11R6/bin, but where should the X11 includes go? Offhand, I'd think /usr/include/X11 ->../X11R6/include/X11, and sure enough, a 'cd X11' from /usr/include puts me in the directory where X includes are already; and oddly enough, the file dates are recent (april 2006) so that's probably X11R7. > Kent -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
