Once you sort that out, there's a whole host of other stuff to fix as well - |
| 30 |
expat, latest xorg and many more - all stuff that everyone else fixed a while |
| 31 |

If you've never done this before, it's a good learning experience to do it |
| 34 |
(but only once). Thereafter, just reinstall - the pain of upgrading after 18 |
| 35 |
months just isn't worth it |
