The other night, I upgraded a machine at PSU (Portland State
University) from mostly `slink' (with some updated packages from
`potato') to `potato'. I ran the entire upgrade from a
gnome-terminal over an `ssh' connection. It went very well.
I used terminal flow control (C-s and C-q) to stop and start the
output during installation, so that I could paste error messages into
an editor, to take note of them. Here is that (annotated) file, for
the curious. I have not gotten around to looking at the bug pages
and filing bug reports on unreported problems yet; I will try and
take some time for that this week.

WARNING: the configuration format for modutils has changed!
Your modutils configuration contains path statements. Since version 2.3.1
of modutils the syntax for this statement has changed. The section is
no longer automatically appended to the given path. To demonstrate: if
you have a statement like this:
path[fs]=/lib/modules/2.2.14
it should be replaced with this statement:
path[fs]=/lib/modules/2.2.14/fs

The modutils configurationfile /etc/conf.modules has been

You will have to resolve this situation manually.
Removing obsoleted files:
Dpkg might ask you if you want the new configuration files in /etc/init.d.
This is generally a good idea, unless you have really changed any of these
files. The KDOPT setting in /etc/init.d/kerneld will be saved even if you
install a new version of this file.

You have an old-style 0setserial entry. The configuration
mechanism has changed completely from 2.14.
Renaming your old /etc/rc.boot/0setserial to 0setserial.pre-2.15
This release uses serial.conf in /etc/ to configure the ports
When you shutdown or halt your machine, your current settings should
be automatically stored, providing you do not have either
a multiport or a hayes device (edit /etc/serial.conf by hand).
Attention PCMCIA users - pcmcia has its own configuration for
pcmcia serial-type devices, which is not compatible with setserial.
I have attempted to compensate for this, but if you have problems
read /usr/doc/setserial/README.debian.gz
Note that if you edit serial.conf, remember to remove completely
the AUTOSAVE line from the file.
