Here i agree, it happened to me on 100, which became useless,(had to reinstall, choose 101),on 101, which became instable, but still worked, and also on 102. the retailversion, which took about 3 hours to upgrade a few pkgs, and all kind of mysterious happenings flew over the screen and got me realy worried,(it costs a day to get everything back to normal after wrekking an OS..) and when it was done, I thought: this is the last time like this!, but after finishing, the system was and still is stable as a house....( but i still do not know what realy happened there...a feeling i personaly don't like at all..) I am carefull now with other pkgs except the ones I realy need: Samba,(a story on its own..) libxine, w32codec-all.. Only factory upgrades?
