Vincent, you should kick over your 2.1r4 stuff to debian-testing and debian-release. Many of us (such as myself) can't keep up on debian-devel and get their work done. I'm confused -- does this solution obviate the "slink-and-a-half"? Do we need a new boot-floppies for 2.1r4? -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
