Contrary to common wisdom (and intuition), dist-upgrade is not related to upgrading between distros. The difference between it and upgrade is that upgrade will not install new packages, only upgrade installed ones, whereas dist-upgrade will also install new packages if newer dependencies of existing packages require this. I personally always do dist-upgrade, unless I have a very specific reason not to. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
