Hi Gordon

Thanks for that. seems I should update from 4.

Will I have much of a problem, as home is on a seperate hard drive
that should make it easier?

all the best

I have not had as many problems upgrading Debian as I have upgrading
Ubuntu.  In the past I have:
+ changed my sources.list
+ apt-get update
+ apt-get upgrade
- answer questions as appropriate
- reboot if necessary
+ check everything is OK
+ apt-get dist-upgrade
- answer Qs
- reboot if necessary

That's about the size of it - I think they moved to Xorg from XF86 going from 4 to 5 though (or was that earlier, I'm not sure) even then, it mostly just worked - last time I tweaked the config file was moving to an Atom mobo with Intel Graphics chipset..
