I just received my 2.0 CD (Thanks LSL!) and have a few questions about upgrading from bo:
1- I have a working rescue disk from bo (with a special kernel for my aic 2940U SCSI adapter). Do I need to make a new one? Or could I use the old bo disk to boot and run dselect after the upgrade? 2- The CD's `upgrade/README-upgrade' never mentions the rescue disk. Can I really upgrade with the `normal' system running, without booting the rescue disk and loading its ram disk? 3- Which is the best method to upgrade (less errors; more intuitive) ? cd_autoup.sh or `apt-get update; apt-get -f dist-upgrade' ? 4- There was a message on Debian-devel about 3 weeks ago concerning a bug in cd_autoup.sh : From: Clemmitt Sigler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Problems with cd_autoup.sh and CheapBytes hamm beta CD. -------------- 2.) There is a bug in the NET script name variable(s). You need to remove the line: PKGS_NET=$( echo "$PKGS_NET" | sed -e "$SEDSCRIPT" ) and replace it with: PKGS_NETBASE=$( echo "$PKGS_NETBASE" | sed -e "$SEDSCRIPT" ) PKGS_NETSTD=$( echo "$PKGS_NETSTD" | sed -e "$SEDSCRIPT" ) -------------- When I grep for PKGS_NET in cd_autoup.sh, I appear to have the same context: PKGS_NETBASE="net/netbase_*.deb" PKGS_NETSTD="net/netstd_*.deb" PKGS_NET=$( echo "$PKGS_NET" | sed -e "$SEDSCRIPT" ) Where do I get the latest version of cd_autoup.sh? (Or should I be using the apt-get upgrade path anyhow?) 5- How do I upgrade to my multiple CDs (non-free and contrib)? Stick 'em in in-turn and rerun dselect? or Stick 'em in in-turn and rerun `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' ?
