Wow, it sounds like I'm a complete idiot. Ok, what I meant to say (had other things on my mind this weekend) was that being unfamiliar with 'script' I thought it was some sort of interpreter through which I had to run this "xorg-upgrade" script mentioned in the UPDATING file. As you can see, my lack of understanding for script lead to a bad assumption. Thanks again for setting me straight. Just for the record, once my understanding was set right, the upgrade went flawlessly. Great instructions! Andy
