Thanks, Bob. Regretfully, that didn't do it for me, but I'm not sure if my
problem was nvidia-related.

I let Synaptic do the update (90+ packages!), but it errored out with
problems updating python packages.

I rebooted normally, and it hung after starting cupsd. A repeat did the
same.

I rebooted with recovery console and renamed xorg.conf. When I tried to
remove nvidia-current, I got all these python errors which couldn't be
fixed. I didn't see a message that indicated the removal worked.

I tried to install nouveau, but got the message the most recent version was
already installed.

Rebooting hangs at the same place as after the update.

I'll try a console upgrade after there's a chance the video is all
compatible. Is "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade" the right choice?

Lane
