Well, I only have experience going from 1.2 to 1.3. But as a basic Linux newbie I didn't have any troubles at all. I was pleasantly shocked at how smooth it went. I did my upgrade over ftp on a 28.8k line; I set things up about 10 pm and when I got up in the morning things were upgraded. Neat! I will caution you, however, to make sure you read the various warnings and Read.Me's before such an upgrade. For example, the 1.2-1.3 upgrade specifically said you had to upgrade 3 or 4 packages by downloading them and using dpkg to install them before you could do the "big" upgrade. Folks who didn't heed that warning had trouble. But as I said, for me, the upgrade was as smooth as a silk stocking gliding across a freshly shaven thigh. :-) | Debian GNU/ __ o Regards, | / / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ . | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / Randy | /____/ /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | ...because lockups are for convicts... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
