oh - weird. I always thought that upgrade kept the same version of the distribution (potato, woody, sid, whatever) and just upgraded packages that have been updated in that dist since last upgrade, but dist-upgrade would actually go across distro release boundaries and upgrade from, say, woody to sid if sid was now "stable" (optionally, if you decided to go from stable to unstable or testing or whatever). I should RTFM some more ... well, that and play around with Debian more :) James -- James Manning <http://www.sublogic.com/james/> GPG Key fingerprint = B913 2FBD 14A9 CE18 B2B7 9C8E A0BF B026 EEBB F6E4 _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
