Hi,

Too late now but before upgrading I think it is advisable to look at
the output of apt-show-versions and clean up packages that are no
longer available. Even though you were fully up to date with Lenny
there were

I realize that this is a dumb question, but I've never upgraded a Linux distro
before - I've only made fresh installations. (My excuse is that a fresh
installation forces me to properly back up my personal files, something that
I'd have to do anyway with an upgrade as a precaution.)

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze. I did the upgrade rather

Greetings and happy weekend folks,
I previously tried upgrading from Lenny to squeeze:
1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect squeeze
2. aptitude update
3. aptitude install apt dpkg aptitude
4. aptitude full-upgrade
The upgrade seemed to go well however, on reboot it failed to go into X.
