upgrading slink to potato
um, is it possible to upgrade to potato from slink yet? when I try, I get problems with recursive pre-dependencies between libc6, ldso, and debianutils. I think I broke my system (I sort of expected to) by forcing things, but once things are fixed, I will want to upgrade again. please CC replies to my address, thx. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Upgrading slink to potato
Hi, I have this computer, running Debian 2.1, and another one running Debian 2.2 Now I want to upgrade the 2.1 PC to 2.2, but I don't want to download all the packages again since my connection is only 33k6. The 2.2 PC does have all the correct packages, but I can't get them installed correctly. (dependancies) Now I heard that there is a script on the loose which simulates an debian archives server with packages on my own PC. So you can just update from your own PC and not from InterNet. I was wondering if anyone else has ever done this, or knows the correct way to do so. Manually installing all packages is not the correct way :] -- Ltr!
