In fact.. that's exactly what happened (dist-upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic). The sad thing is that this is the second machine I've tried the upgrade on, and the second to fail. I was prepared this time, backed everything up prior to the attempt, so it's more of an annoyance than anything. -Ben _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
