Okay, I'm now nearly ready to make the switch - a full, functional backup has been taken.
What I haven't seen anywhere is what happens if one has packages which are later than what apt-get knows about. For example, I installed X from 2.1r4 but found it didn't support my video card, so installed a new copy of X from a tarball. What will happen to such installations when I upgrade, does anyone know? -- Gary Debian 2.1r4 (kernel v2.0.39); XFree86 3.3.6 The universe is composed of 13% Electrons, 13% Protons, 14% Neutrons, 60% Morons.
