Starting with a net install I'm attempted last night to go from a c.d.
initiated, net installed, base system directly to the unstable
distribution.
After the base install I added a few essential tools: mc vim aptitude
mutt discover hotplug and mdetect. Then I changed my
/etc/apt/source.list to unstable from stable. Apt-get update and
apt-get dist-upgrade. Aptitude was used to select x-window system, gnome
and kde.
I'm stuck. Have I installed something that conflicts? Should I have just
configured x in stable or testing, them upgraded? This method should
have worked?
5 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
