The way I see it, you get to upgrade to 2005.1 from a starting point that is less likely to cause you trouble. Every step you make, without completely breaking your system, towards the eventual goal of true multilib, is a reward because it gets you closer to the goal. Only when the goal is reached do the "good things" start to happen. However, there comes a point when it is easier to install from scratch than to upgrade. I prefer to go the other way and keep it much easier to upgrade incrementally. (However upgrading to 2005.0 did not go smoothly for me, and I nearly gave up and re-installed. I'm still not sure what I did that I saved my system. :) ) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chemoelectric.org "Even if they say lofty things like `democracy' or whatever it is they say, they don't mean it." -- David Durenberger, former Republican U.
