The first was that on my box GRUB recognised the (regretable) existence of XP - but not Etch. Secondly, KMail seemed unstable when auto and manually checking more than one POP account and often froze. Being a cold wet day with nothing else to do, three installs plus updates didn't cure anything. Not complaining, as I know I can always rely on either "good ol' Etch" or <ducks quickly>; Kbuntu on my MacBook instead :) -- W.
