Ergo, good advice gets ignored and then the crying towel gets tossed into the ring. Owell, I hate to get to this point but it's "screw 'em". "A hard head makes a soft ass" is what is said behind the razor wire... and it holds as a proof in this case. After all, this crate is close to the bleeding edge, so a couple of burps in the barrel during an upgrade can become a huge problem. It's predictable, it computes and it happens. To then run off to complain about a broken system which becomes magically "fixed" by a clean install to another distro is just this side of lame. To know that the majority of these users head to Ubuntu is enough to keep me here, where the majority of the users left here are clearly clicking on all cylinders. Ric --
