Please note that debian-doc is maybe not the better list to ask for help (this list is about writting / improving documentation), see http://debian.org/support and debian-user list. We can advise you to read the release-notes, see http://debian.org/releases/lenny/releasenotes > And this is my --- rather urgent --- question: using "dpkg -l" it is easy > enough to get a > list of all installed packages.

Try apt-show-versions However, we may add such a question to http://debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.fr.html#userbackports > I can't even get Bluetooth support working, and I hope I won't have to > wipe the darddisk and start from scratch. Make sure you have updated the kernel and the relevant module is loaded. I suggest you ask on a support list.
