Re: A few questions from a newbie.

Thanks for the info, but I think you over looked a few items.
The reason I want to upgrade to potato is, I installed x11amp, which required
newer libs than slink uses. This has broken apt. I've seen this problem
mentioned before and the recommended fix was to upgrade to potato. Also, my
video card requires the mach64 server for X11R6 3.3.3.1 which is part of potato,
slink uses 3.3.2.3 My system is currently working with X3.3.2.3 with the mach64
server for 3.3.3.1, I'm not sure if this is such a good idea, but it works for
me for the moment. Due to personal problems, I have to fly to the States this
weekend. I'll be gone for 3 weeks. I think I'll just wait till I get back, then
pack up my system and cart it down to the local ILUG and have some experts help
me set the rest of it up. So, hopefully, by next month I'll have my system up
and running and on the net. I'll then be able to work on other probs a lot
easier, as I'll then have E-Mail at home! Thanks again for all the assistance.

Cheers,
