Re: upgrading lenny to squeeze question

This is in reply to Brian and Pete

'Enter' and/or 'Tab' has no affect. What did happen was the Update icon 
showed up with something like 1700 files to update. I decided to go with 
that to see what would happen -- looks like everything went reasonably 
smooth with just some minor annoyances which I managed to fix back to 
working condition.

Thanks for the replies.
