     Well, what of those that want to try the whole beta?  Its so radically
different, everything that I had in /etc/X11 got stomped on
my /etc/X11 is no more.  Alot of config stuff is different.  So what Im asking
is, how best could I have done this as to not completely fuck up the debian
package database (I was unable to dpkg -r alot of stuff due to fear of also
removing subsidiary packages that depended on X11).  So, now my main question
is, when they DO come out with a .deb or a .tar.gz with debian rules, how will
I best go about not totally stomping all over everything again, and also not
having unaccounted for files?  Thanks
