Instead of using home-baked update procedures, and then blaming Ubuntu for your problems, update using official guidelines and THIS WON'T HAPPEN. In this case, nobody's saying its impossible - we're saying the victim is to blame. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Maybe you weren't paying attention. The only "home baked" part of the update procedures was my choice of repositories. That's it. I used the fucking Update Manager. The only difference was that instead of going across the interminably slow "broadband" connection I had it went to disk where I had an rsynched copy of everything. Read that again and see if you can comprehend the fucking sentence this time: "I used the fucking Update Manager". Feel free to comment again after (or if) you comprehend that sentence. Otherwise just shut the fuck up. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- Michael T.
