Hope this will help Let me explain it a bit better. I have not yet tried a squeeze to wheezy distribution upgrade. I think it will work but I have not tried it yet. To try this out, I may install squeeze on a virtualbox and try the upgrade there. After I try this I can forward specific instructions on the distribution upgrade and do my friends two machines.
My workstation was Wheezy, but a cruchbang version of wheezy to help stop it from breaking. Since it was already pointing to Wheezy it did not have much to do So besides peer1 mirror wheezy, after 7.0 came out I turned off CRUCHBANG. Then my son corrected our local debian mirror to use wheezy for stable and point to the new testing. You will not have a local mirror, so I may suggest another mirror. Again, actual details to follow. mirror.peer1.net worked for me on a telus network. mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca also works fairly well but peer1 has more updates. /etc/apt/sources.list included: ## CRUNCHBANG ## Compatible with Debian Wheezy, but use at your own risk. ### deb http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main # deb-src http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main ## DEBIAN # deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://mirror.calgary.lan/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free ## (my sons local debian mirror) deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian wheezy contrib deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free # deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free ## DEBIAN SECURITY # deb http://mirror.calgary.lan/security/ wheezy/updates main deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main # deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main deb http://downloads.makerbot.com/makerware/ubuntu oneiric main # deb-src http://downloads.makerbot.com/makerware/ubuntu oneiric main deb http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ debian extra ## The Samsung Unified Linux Driver Repository === My netbook was a fresh install from a DVD iso on a USB drive This was because I had no data or programs to transfer After the install I commented out the usb DVD and added the other lines to /etc/apt/sources.list How I made the install stick (usb drive) as root on my workstation dd if=debian-7.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2048k sync Using dmesg to determine where my usb drive was (of=/dev/sdd in MY CASE) If you get the wrong drive you will loose the data! the DVD was 4.4MB in size so my 8GB usb drive was big enough -----Original Message----- From: Joe S <[email protected]> Reply-to: CLUG General <[email protected]> To: CLUG General <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [clug-talk] The release of Debian 7.0 Wheezy Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 20:04:00 -0600 Mailer: KMail/1.13.5 (Linux/2.6.32-5-686; KDE/4.4.5; i686; ; ) Did you make a fresh install or will it work with an upgrade from Squeeze. I couldn't find info on this on Debian's site. If I do a fresh install is there a way to save a list of packages that I have installed so I can have them reinstalled, also configurations so I don't have to spend the time to set up everything again?
