   If you want to use the packages made upstream for Debian/Ubuntu, you need to know that numbering schema are different between upstream mondo (2.x.y) and Debian packages (2.xy),so you should adapt your /etc/apt/preferences file to avoid updates of mondo with apt-get with indeed older versions.

-  After that apt-get configuration modification, execute "sudo apt-get update", launch Synaptic, and select "mondo" in order to install the latest version of Mondorescue and its dependencies.

   If you are using Debian rather than Ubuntu then alter the first line above to read:
 {{{
 wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/debian/`cat /etc/debian_version`/mondorescue.sources.list
 }}}
-  Also be sure on recent Ubuntu versions (8.04+) to use the -S and -T switch to locate temp files in a sufficiently big enough file system (by default /var/run is used, which seems to cause problems to Ubuntu users).

+  If the Ubuntu update manager still notify that update to "a new" 2.24 Mondorescue Debian version is available, launch Synaptics, select "Package" menu, choose "Force Version", then select the version from ftp.mondorescue.org instead of the 2.24 one.

+
+  Be sure, on recent Ubuntu versions (8.04+), to use the -S and -T switch to locate temp files in a sufficiently big enough file system ; by default /var/run is used and seems to cause problems on Ubuntu (on which /var/run default size is 500 Mo).
+
+  If switch -L causes mondoarchive segmentation fault, simply don't use that switch, then you'll use bzip2 instead of lzo compression engine.
+
+  '''Swap UUID problem'''[[BR]]
+
+  If occurs "''FATAL ERROR. Your system uses a UUID partition ...install findfs|blkid|vol_id''", there is a problem between the swap and the /etc/fstab content. Even the swap maybe not used, check it through "free" command. A solution is to replace in /etc/fstab the swap UUID by the swap dev/xx (that can be found through "sudo fdisk -l"), it can be done for "local" partitions.
