Re: apt-* (dist-)upgrade 3.1.4 to 3.2.2 Woody Debs Very Alarming
Hi,
i upograded from kde 3.1.4 to 3.2.2 last nite using synaptic on
woody..............it went like a dream with not a single
problem!.................
i would strongly recommend you to use synaptic instead of apt-get as it is
much better at handling dependencies etc..........
