Hi, I, ahem, need to upgrade oldstable to stable, but I cannot update my current oldstable system, no longer supported as it is. How important is it to do that before upgrading?
I have not used aptitude on this system before. How important is that? It would be nice to run the upgrade through the screen program. Is it possible to apt-get install screen after apt-get update with etch sources but before running upgrade? Finally, in order to patch a hardware driver, the kernel is custom compiled. That means the kernel will not be upgraded, but that new sources will be downloaded. Right? Any pointers to post-support documentation or mail-list threads would be appreciated. Thank you. mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
