How do I upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze?
I realize that this is a dumb question, but I've never upgraded a Linux distro before - I've only made fresh installations. (My excuse is that a fresh installation forces me to properly back up my personal files, something that I'd have to do anyway with an upgrade as a precaution.) This isn't an option for Debian Squeeze, as I'm trying to set up an old computer (1 GHz processor, 256 MB of RAM) as a firewall/server with a minimal Debian installation. Debian Squeeze would NOT install on this computer, but I had no problems installing Debian Lenny. Is upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze this a simple apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade or is there more I need to do? -- Jason Hsu jhsu802...@jasonhsu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Er, mostly. The Squeeze release notes have the full procedure and depending on how many conffiles you've edited and where you may have to massage some packages into behaving right after the upgrade. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Rather that paraphrase here I think we all suggest you start there. Larry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
