<soapbox> That is becoming something of an issue with me personally. Everyone else appears to be of the mindset that everyone else has a broadband connection and that they can happily urpmi everything to do this that and the other thing - which is not entirely true. Doing large scale updates is entirely out of the question for me unless I can do an upgrade or complete install from already created CD's. Really does tend to raise my ire. Aside from that, after many weeks of watching the MDK 10 issues and quirks, I'm resolved to sit and wait (as I always do) for a "non whole number" version. Every distro, every version that has been of a "whole number" has been, in my eyes, a "testing ground" and the .1 or .2 version has been the better bet. I've tested 10CE - played around with it enough to see that it's not going to be anything I can "upgrade" to or anything that I can install on my working box without heaps of headache, heaps of hacking, and heaps of change. And I'm certainly NOT going to get rid of my trusty linmodem "just to get by". Mind you, I'd really like to have MDK 10+, but I fear it's going to be some time off - same as I waited for MDK 9.1 - which after I HAD waited, it was worth the wait in the end. I'm not trying to deter anyone from anything - I'm venting here. But bear in mind I'm also stating something that most of y'all "oldies" will already know. I'm also just mad as a wet hen that everyone seems to think that most of the world is capable of having broadband...ahem. </soapbox> stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ You're growing out of some of your problems, but there are others that you're growing into.
