Re: Part 2 - updating squeeze to wheezy

Thank you Clive for your reply. Here are my settings now after doing the 
change to my sources.list:

I seem to have only one major problem and that is my Acer X223w display 
is not recognized and I'm only getting 1280x780 whereas before I was 
able to get a much higher range. Something to work on. I also think it 
will take a while to get used to how wheezy displays the desktop. I 
think I may hear some grumbling from my wife who also uses this computer.
