Hurry up! dapper is coming..

Yehaa! I'm Dappin'
I just replaced all breezy with dapper in my sources.list, just by renaming.
And after that I did an 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and 'sudo apt-get update' and in the end 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'

...A few problems occured, non vital, but a little strange and annoying anyway, I have found solutions for the most of them.

1. I couldn't reboot or shutdown proberly.
- Solved: found that my desktop PC (an HP Pavilion Athlon64) need this line:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro noacpi nolacpi quit splash
instead of
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro noapic nolapic quit splash
in this file /boot/grub/menu.lst

2. Printing and scanning on my HP officejet v40
- Solved: found this howto

And remember to have your HPLIP start every boot... ;)

3. Network not active after login
- a half assed solution at the moment, is to deactivate the network card, and then reactivate it. Will do for now, missing a real solution.
