Wait!! Hold this upgrade!! Hehe sorry all but i was about to try the upgrade tomorrow but i was going to use bo. What am i suppossed to use Bo or Frozen??? Also i am going to setup a mirror on my machine but i really don't want to mirror the whole site. I do want to mirror the 1.3 distribution only. I will be using ftp.debian.org (i believe this is ok), so do i mirror ftp.debian.org:/pub/debian/bo/ or /pub/debian/frozen/ ? > Also, know what you are doing when dpkg asks if you want to replace > configuration files. Dpkg does (should) make a backup copy of the original conf file before it replaces it correct? Is this a standard that all packages include or just a few? > For people running an old Debian system (1.1) - you are supposed to do > the following before using dselect to upgrade: > > dpkg --clear-avail > dpkg -i ldso_*.deb > dpkg -i libc5_*.deb > dpkg -i dpkg_*.deb dpkg-ftp_*.deb > dpkg --purge --force-depends texbin So this needs to be done before i start the upgrade (via dselect)? Will this be so even when it is released this week sometime? > I'm extremely happy with the way Debian 1.3, it's a huge improvement > over 1.2. I'm sure you'll like it too. :-) I'm running 1.2 now and find it great :) I know 1.3 will be good aswell. I'd also like to thanx all the developers, maintainers, and everyone else for this great OS!!!! -Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
