Re: Sarge Upgrade DEBOCLE ! ! !
Carl,
You are absolutely right, please accept my apologies. Please believe,
I DON'T HATE YOU. But the Slashdot article referenced Bill Allombert
in an article on the Australian ZDNet Site:
http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/0,2000061733,39196419,00.htm
I think there are some valid arguments there and should not be ignored
by the community.
And, nope I ran dselct on a Friday afternoon like I always do without
reading the release notes or anything. I thought I only had to do
that with my Microsoft systems. Didn't have a problem in four years
and didn't think I would have a problem this time. And after I get
upgraded to Sarge I am sure I will not have to worry about it again.
In any case this is the typescript from my last upgrade attempt.
