Revert from dist-upgrade?


Hi Gents,

Today I did a dist-upgrade from breezy to dapper, it broke networking
(forcedeth module is loaded but ifconfig can't find the device) and video
(the proprietary NVIdia driver compiles and installs fine, the kernel module
is loaded, but X complains it can't load its module - the module is installed,
and it's current) ... Is there a trivial way of getting back to breezy, or will I have
to actually re-install?


Cheers,
Tink

You'll have to reinstall.

This is correct: the dist-upgrade to a new release is wobbly. Download the CD and clean install. I would like to know if you have trouble with multimedia playback and nvidia.
