don't waste any more time trying to upgrade from a version that ancient. back up your data that you really care about and then do a fresh install from the most recent stable version. i always come up with a desktop that has all my projects set up and ready to go in various sets of terminals. the one terminal i fire up first is the one where i log in as root, bring up the network and then do my morning updates and upgrade(s) (as needed). i do this daily because i run testing most of the time so i do want to check out what is being updated recently. sounds like you would be better off with stable. :) songbird
