Re: latest woody kills dexter?
I am quite sure it can be reconfigured, I am quite sure that one of
the programs that I upgraded said that I can reconfigure it later but I
dodn't remember which one it was nor how todo it.
just read the docs, it has to be there.
--reinstal (apt-get) might help, it reinstalls package that is already
newest.
I am not sure why dexter was removed, the new system should have the
same functionality, so you can think of it more like a rename.
