I am thinking, from release notes and comments, 'apt-get upgrade' first , to safely upgrade all packages that don't require new depends or deletions. Install the new kernel, reboot, then you can use aptitude or apt-get to finish. It seems dl the non-free firmware package and having it available would be a good practice to get into for upgrades, (esp laptops) at least being aware that firware policy has changed for Squeeze. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
