Glad to hear it.

> and today i have just discovered that i still use tcpip-0.17-i486-31 and that 
> slapt-get  HAS NOT upgraded to the last tcpip-0.17-i486-31b found in patches

Yes, that was posted in the changelog.  The version and build are essentially the same. 
slapt-get only looks at the integer value of the build portion, hence 31 and 31b are
equivalant.  This is one of those situations where reading the changelogs is important. 


take care,
jason
