Ok. I did this and I have been able to move to the testing distribution. Unfortuantely, I encountered an error when running dist-upgrade on that distribution. I got a pop-up box that states, "You are currently upgrading udev to a version that is not compatible with the currently running kernel. You MUST install a compatible kernel version (2.6.18 or newer) before upgrading, otherwise the system may become UNUSABLE. Packages with a name starting with "linux-image-2.6-" provide a kernel image usable with this new udev version." I ran uname -r and got my kernel version as "2.6.16.29-xen", but dist-upgrade doesn't look like it will upgrade the kernel version for me. Also, now when I run apt-get dist-upgrade, I am seeing "75 not fully installed or removed." because the last install stopped on the udev problem... how can I keep this from being a problem?
