Hi Greg.
Yes it will work but that's not all. Don't worry. It's very smooth
and easy.
I assume you're using the stable branch. Then you should have in
your /etc/apt/sources.list something like:
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ stable main
Yes? Then you're fine. Stay there. :) I only have those three, btw.
And I'm happy! :D You can omit the third line actually unless you're
also getting sources. Most people don't. If you don't have it, ignore
it. :)
If you have deb lines referencing your old Sarge discs like:
deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1
(20060419)]/ unstable contrib main
it's time to remove them now. :)
Let's Get It On(tm).
1. If you're on X, quit X.
- quit all your open apps
- logout
- Force quit X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)
2. Login as root.
3. apt-get update
4. apt-get -u upgrade
5. apt-get -u dist-upgrade
6. Answer some questions.
7. Enjoy.
:)

how am I going to upgrade to Debian 4.0 Etch without going through the
process of new installation? Will "apt-get upgrade" work?
Thanks.
