Now that we have finally got a measure of `free' internet access in the
UK (i.e. without phone charges, at least in the evenings and at
weekends), I'm able to contemplate upgrading my Debian setup to Potato
on-line. (I've always done it via CD previously.)
Any tips about how to do this? Anything t

Greetings. I am brand new to Debian, but a long-time Linux

I've installed Debian 2.1 from CD onto my SPARC IPX; the process went
flawlessly and the system is running fine. I would like to try an
upgrade to the upcoming 2.2 release, primarily because I'd like the

I would like to upgrade to the frozen release 2.2 from
the "official" 2.1 Where can I find the information
for doing this? I've looked on Debian's documentation
as well as in the Faq-O-Matic and found nothing.

I am working with a spanish non-official Debian distribution
and it includes apt-get, Kde, gnome, etc. I am not sure about
the consequences of upgrading to the official distr

Hi,
I upgraded to potato and have the foll problems,
1. My mouse doesn't work after I boot and start X windows.
I have to run gpm,gpm-mouse-test after I boot in to make
my mouse work.
Any ideas what I have to check in my init script so that
my mouse driver is installed at boot time.
Hello all:
For the past couple of days I have been trying to install potato on a
system. I have encountered problems. The problem is with libc6.
I have tried to remove, -force-remove etc with dpkg without success.
I am running 2.2.12 on this PC.
Following is the command I have issued and the res

I think we are looking at a package problem, a compiler bug in the

I need several potato packages and thus would like to upgrade my slink

Is this feasible?
Is this a Good Idea?
Is there a document that would guide me through this?
Thanks,

Having already upgraded to glibc 2.1 and reading recommendations that
one should upgrade to potato if using glibc 2.1, I decided last night to
give it a go.
