Well I am really disappointed _big_ about my last encounter with DEBIAN:
OK I had a totally screwed up System and therefore I decided to install Debian from scratch. As I could not use the Woody CD-Roms I downloaded some time ago, I figured I use my old Progeny-Debian as a start, and update this to the stable Woody. As I had a lot of stuff that I didn't want to be messed with, I decided to clean one entire HDD just to have room for Progeny Debian. Now; while the install was no problem, I figured it would be save to mount the old Debian on /DEBIAN and then I run apt-get -f dist-upgrade, oh man was I surprised when I returned to my PC to find that dpkg or apt or whatever had _cleanly_ _wiped_ my old Debian; everything that was mounted under /DEBIAN was/is gone. The only good thing is my home partition was/is on it's own partition and was left alone, as it was not mounted. I only saw a error on the command-line with the claim /DEBIAN was sort of Bug or whatever. This alone was not the biggest let-down: As I wrote above I wanted to update Progeny-Newton to Debian-Woody but in the middle of "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" the next error was even more severe: "fileutils Origin Signature check failed this deb might not be signed" And that was the end of it. Right now I use a Progeny-Newton that was not yet updated. Hopefully someone can shed a light on this, as I need to finish the installation.
