I did a clean install and everything went smooth but when I started installing all the stuff missing I had problems with the AU mirror as well. I ended up switching quite often, but this could have something to do with the "others" upgrading... good to hear that it worked for you. I am now back to the AU mirror, all is fine so far. keep the traffic on the continent :-) seb -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
