dear all,
in april 2007, i installed a fresh ubuntu feisty on my five-year-old desktop that is now growing long in the bluetooth. i regularly updated and applied patches on it, so i had a 'more usable' system that worked brilliantly, till the last week of oct 2007. the subsequent updates and patches hurled my system into turbulent weather, the fasten-seat-belts sign lit up, and soon the system just became completely unusable. noticed that gutsy's specs for hardware are more than what i have currently. am therefore sitting at this moment with my cd of ubuntu feisty, ready to do a fresh-install. alas! that mercilessly rolls me back to an april 2007 ecosystem. is there any way for me to configure or tweak my system updates, apt sources, etc., so the system and apps that i wish to install and update roll-forward and stop at october 2007 and don't go beyond that? once done, is there any way in which i can create some sort of a snapshot system, so if the system rattles again due to an update or a patch, i safely roll-back to a known, working snapshot? your help and suggestions much appreciated. regards niyam -- niyam bhushan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
