Yeah, they usually don't get worked on until after the testing freeze. They will be fairly complete by the time Squeeze is released. Until then, you are on your own; upgrades from stable to testing are sometimes tested throughout the stable life cycle, but all the issues aren't addressed until it's better known what will actually be in the new stable. If you want testing, best to install testing, really. Stable and the upgrade is possible, but it's actually slower. (It might be the best way is the testing d-i is broken, though.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
