I struck out last night with Nick's direction on this, none of theUpgrades is the one thing that both Gentoo and Debian have both sorted out properly. Consider coming to the Gentoo MiniInstallFest.
methods revealed any obvious signs of icons! I'm going to change tack
on this one a little and look to upgrade ethereal, the one on my home
desktop is 0.10.3 from memory and a more recent one is available. The
whole topic of software upgrades in linux is one that I really struggle
with (piece of cake in windows) so a new thread on "ethereal upgrade"
will appear before too long ie when I can find the time.
The huge differences between windows and linux in terms of software installations and upgrades is something that used to make my head spin - still does - the ease with which I can do it in windows and the difficulties (usually total failures) and mistakes I have previously had in linux have made me really resistant to learning the ins and outs to the point of not using anything that doesn't come on the install disks (that much I can do).
It's time for me to get over myself and get on with it...
