Re: how to upgrade debian to 2.2
I prefer upgrading the kernel by downloading the source, do a make menuconfig and the a: make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules _install After that I copy the bzImage to /boot, edit my lilo.conf, run lilo and I'm ready to boot again. I don't throw away old kernel, just in case. Ron PS. I don't think it would be a good thing if you could upgrade your kernel with apt-get, because the best kernels are those you compiled for your computer, not those general thing...

(apt-get upgrade apparently leaves the kernel itself alone...) and how newbie-difficult is it to keep the old kernel around to put out a fire or two, Just In Case?
Re: how to upgrade debian to 2.2
hi nick, here's what i did: 1. added the "potato" entry to /etc/apt/sources.list . (ex: below) deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free ^^^add the above line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file^^ 2. type: apt-get update 3. type: apt-get dist-upgrade 4. check on it every once in a while; it takes a few hours (on a 56k connect). 5. have fun! bentley taylor. // Nick wrote: > > how do i upgrade my box > i have debian 2.1 w/ a 2.15 kernel > > i wanna try potato > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Re: how to upgrade debian to 2.2
Just edit the sources.list of apt, I guess it'll be wise to do something like: apt-get update apt-get install ldso apt-get install libc6 apt-get install perl-5.005 apt-get dist-upgrade Upgrading ldso, libc6 and perl first will PROBABLY prevent some difficulties, but it doesn't mean the upgrade will go completely smooth (don't know how the upgrade goes now, but a few months ago I experienced problems with libc6 and perl), but I think it won't give you much trouble. Maybe you can check out www.debian.org if you can find some more details on upgrading to potato.
