I read the mini HOWTO and reports in this mailing list about unstable being "stable enough". My machine is kind of a production server. The world would not end if it goes down for a day or so. But still it is important to have it up and running ASAP. I am planning on upgrading to hamm later today. I have a few questions before I set off -
* I am downloading the entire hamm binary-i386, contrib and non-free tree to a directory (actually, my home directory) on an NFS server. Is there a possibility that NFS might stop working during the upgrade process? * Could some kind soul who has gone through the upgrade process give me a roadmap? The Mini-HOWTO, though useful, does not provide information on how to upgrade the other packages once I have done the basic upgrading. Can I start using dselect after following the instructions in the mini-HOWTO? * I have compiled and installed some packages under /usr/local/ (pgsql, ssh, socks etc.). I guess I have compiled these with libc5. Is there a possibility that they would stop working when I upgrade to libc6? * I am running something > 1.3.1.r4 Should I get hold of the libc5 libraries (from gate.net) that don't conflict with libc6 and upgrade after installing these libraries? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
