Okay, where were you when it asks: "or do you have a handcrafted exim3 config" and do the change over manually (unconfigured until you fix it) Every single machine I have upgraded is now part of a cluster of machines that use a standard "little files" setup and I just have a package I install that puts everything in there I need.

Again, if Lilo *IS* installed it does not change to grub. If grub *IS* installed it does not go BACK to Lilo unless you changed your "/" filesystem to XFS. > You likewise get Cyrus 1.5 with Sarge.
