That's because of more packages in the archive. Doing an upgrade should only involve those packages already on the system. Replacing those with new versions will only involve a 10-20% blowout, due to new features and whatnot. Certainly it should not be a 166% increase. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
