I know, from having accidentally tried to upgrade Sarge to Etch that a fresh install is the only way to go but I also know that my video resolution is going to come up at 800 X 600 following the new install (same thing happens with *buntu 8.10/9.04) and I'm going to have to figure out how to fix that. I"ve already spent a few hours trying to figure it out with no luck at all. At the same time, KateOS comes up just fine at 1024 X 768 on a 350 MHz P2 laptop. Go figure. Very frustrating.Have you re-considered trying an upgrade anyway first? You really do not have anything to lose at this point and it may just work this time!
My Etch machine still works great and is still my primary computer so yes I do have something to lose. I've given up on Sidux so maybe I'll try installing Lenny on my new (to me) machine but I'm going to be very annoyed when I can't get the video resolution to run at 1024 X 768.
