That's because you are supposed to use progeny's sources fool. :-) <hint> progeny is a hack on debian/testing </hint) You overwrote the entire progeny distro with debian, that's like upgrading your redhat6.2 install with the valinux 6.2 disk. >It was a while ago so I can't remmeber.

I wasn't to pleased with RC1 or the beta's but any of the issues I was having are seemingly gone in 1.0. I think Ben's problems with grub are related to his vaio. I have had no problems at all, and in fact, I'll probably never use lilo again. As far as overall use goes, it's just like a debian install, all the external debian sources (ie, non-debian system source lines.) work fine. I have gnome 1.4 installed, the cvs-builds of enlightenment and whatnot, and it all works beautifully. PCMCIA scheme's do not seem to want to work too well though, I'll keep hacking on that, but it's not a progeny issue. (I don't think.) Thanks, -- Thomas J.
