So now you're running into Approximately a month, I believe. Certainly not a whole lot longer. I don't regard that as a long time, but perhaps in the arch world it is. But since the box I'm upgrading often goes a couple of months without even being powered up, it would be hard to upgrade more frequently. Maybe I made a mistake putting arch on it, if arch really does have to be upgraded more frequently than that. I was unaware that that was a consideration. I've never used a "rolling release" distribution before, and perhaps I shouldn't have done so on the machine in question. I (naïfly) thought that the package manager system would automagically take care of everything regardless of how many updates needed to be applied. Computers... even after all this time, still a learning experience. Even when I don't want them to be. Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
