Generally it is not a good idea to install packages from an earlier version. What is it in 8.10 that you want real bad and is not available in 8.04? Why not install 8.04 (from the DVD you have) when you have confessed that you do neet the bleeding edge packages of 8.10? Since 8.04 is LTS (long term support) most likely newer version of packages may available for 8.04. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
