Hi, Dennis. I haven't found this in the documentation. But just for your information, gNewSense 3 documentation about upgrading (which needs revision) is in: http://www.gnewsense.org/Documentation/3/InstallationManual/Upgrading And the problems and solutions about gNewSense 3 can be found at: http://www.gnewsense.org/Documentation/3/ProblemsAndSolutions I'll keep a record of this message to see if I can document it. Currently, I don't have the time, so if anyone else can do it, that willl be great. -- Felipe Lopez http://sirgazil.info/
