Maybe its cause I've always just went with the demo account, but whenever I try the "available channels" page, I just get shown the one my system originaly registered to....I could register a new system to the same username and password, but then disable the entitlement on the current system and activate it on the new system. All of this is acedemic to me, last night demo entitlements were still down due to the traffic. I use apt anyway. But I'll ask the stupid question, so I have the answer for reference How do you switch dist. channels with a demo account? This sounds like an intriguing update option, if used carefully. Then again, they should all be used carefully. Thanks fot info -Jim > Was I helpful? Let others know: > http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r -- Jim Wilferling <wolf67@xxxxxxxxxxx>
