    |Hallo,
    |
    |ich spiele mit dem Gedanken, einen Server von Redhat 7.1 nach
    |Debian zu konvertieren. Das Problem ist nur, dass der Server
    |remote in einem Rechenzentrum steht, hunderte Kilometer
    |entfernt ;-) Man m�sste das Ding also im laufenden Betrieb
    |umstellen, und es sollte partout nochts schiefgehen!
    |
    |W�rde mich �ber sachdienliche Hinweise zur Thematik freuen.


Laut englischer Mailingliste kein Problem ;-)

Hier der Auszug [der Tread heist "RH -> Debian, done remotely" vom
17.Jan 2002]

Copy the debootstrap package onto your RH system.  Create a
subdirectory on a partition with a lot of space.  Run debootstrap to
initially populate the subdir.  Chroot to the subdir. Use dselect or
apt-get to load the rest of the packages you want.  Don't forget
ssh! Copy the resulting system back onto your real root, usr, and
var partitions (with the exception of your /boot directory -- I
recommend waiting until you're running real Debian before trying to
change kernels).  Make sure a bunch of things in /etc are right
(fstab, lilo.conf, ssh/*, passwd, probably some others).  Make sure
/sbin/start-stop-daemon is the real thing and not the fake one that
debootstrap initially uses.  Re-run lilo. Cross your fingers and
reboot.  Find out the hard way that I've forgotten something crucial
:-)
