Afternoon all I am fiddling with my second Debian install. I thought I would try unstable on my portable. Following various instructions found by searching Debian.org & Google I did the following: 1. install stable from cd (base only) 2. change sources.list to point at unstable sources at mirror.aarnet etc 3. run apt-get update 4. run apt-get -d dist-upgrade 5. run apt-get -u -f --simulate dist-upgrade (All looked OK at this point) 6. run apt-get -u -f dist-upgrade Apt reports "problems" with a number of packages at the end of this process including ifupdown, netkit-inetd, netbase, exim, mailx, setserial, adduser, & ppp. Lots of things seem to be broken & I can't see why. Many of the rc.2 scripts seem to be missing. I can't get eth0 to go. Modules weren't being loaded but do if I execute the script in init.d manually. Exim complians it has no configuration file (although there does seem to be one) etc, etc. Could someone suggest whay I have done wrong or what I should try. I thought Debian would handle the upgrade a little more elegantly. regards Steven -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
