Hi All,

Thanks for all the responses.

I had the testing line uncommented, did the usual:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

didn't know about the 64studio-config new command, thanks.

The problem was the the 64studio package was being held back because 
realtime-lsm was installed. The odd thing is that when I used Debian, it 
would tell me if a package needed to be removed when I did an upgrade. 
This just failed. Later, I went into synaptic, and I'm sorry, I don't 
remember exactly what I did. But removing realtime-lsm allowed the upgrade.

I am pretty sure, for example, that Ardour wasn't upgraded until I 
removed realtime-lsm. But, I wasn't keeping notes, sorry.

Bad tester:( I will try to be more diligent!

I suppose that means that if there's been a kernel upgrade since 1.30, 
then I'll have to upgrade my kernel? The dist-upgrade didn't do that, is 
that correct?

I'll try tasksel later, as I see you've added some new packages. The 
tuner sounds interesting, I have one, of course, but this seems more 
convenient, and I can just leave my tuner in my not-yet-gigging bag:-)

Okay, off to practice my bass, wouldn't want to blame the software for 
something that was my fault! :-)

Take care,
