Ah. Properly 'Sid', from the Toy Story character. Sid is the 'unstable' track. Woody is the 'testing' track, Sid != Woody. I was assuming you were referring to some sort of new storage device, I'd invented Storage I* Device, and was walking through the I's filling in candidates.... There are boot floppies through at least Woody, from what I understand. Frankly, I'd do a Potato install, change my /etc/apt/sources.list files, and run 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' to move to a more recent track. Your installation distro is largely irrelevant within a few revs. Cheers. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
