When I transitioned from Ubuntu to Debian this was 4 years ago and I just backed up my data to DVD, did a clean install, and then restored my data. Not sure if this answer helps you much... > 3.

I did not experience problems using the Nvidia driver and updating Debian. -- Petrus Validus petrus.vali...@gmail.com If there isn't a way, I'll make one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
