Subject: [blug-chat] changing distros on the fly Date: Wednesday 14 Jan 2004 11:53 From: Andrew Gallagher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From this week's Debian News: World Domination Plan. Guillem Jover [38]announced his plans to take over the non-Debian world and released a [39]tool which converts in runtime any distribution to Debian. It does not convert in the sense of mapping all previous installed packages to the Debian counterparts, but installs a base system or tarball and cleans traces from the previous distribution. 38. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0401/msg00313.html 39. http://www.hadrons.org/~guillem/debian/debtakeover/ I seem to remember Marty claiming he did something similar a few years back. I'm going to try this out on one of my old redhat machines and see how it goes... -- | Andrew Gallagher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | web.andrewg.com | | Computer Support Asst., Dept. of Applied Maths and Theoretical | | Physics, Queen's University of Belfast, BT7 1NN, N.
