Hi Free,

> By the way, are there show stoppers for the 2.1 release?

I've just had a second report of freeze-ups caused during network 
activity when running the 2.6.21 kernel, from Robin Rowe. It does seem 
quite rare though, as I've personally only seen it one Via C3 machine, 
which caused me to open the original ticket.

Also, there's a question mark over John Emmas's desktop machine with the 
RME card, which freezes on boot with 64 Studio 2.0 unless the card is 
removed. I'd like to nail down the cause of that, because it worked fine 
with 64 Studio 1.0.

Yes, exim4 for instance. I think I got everything in the repo! This 
machine may have had the Etch and Etch security sources enabled during 
the previous upgrade, so I will try to replicate the results on a plain 
2.0 install.

I noticed that during the upgrade there was an ncurses tasksel dialogue 
that offered a list of tasks, including to install CDD packages, which I 
selected.

Cheers!

Daniel
