Hi, I am going to upgrade from Debian slink 2.1 to potato. Can anybody tell me if I am wrong about the procedure? Actually, I am working with a spanish non-official Debian distribution and it includes apt-get, Kde, gnome, etc. I am not sure about the consequences of upgrading to the official distribution.
1) I need to change /etc/apt/sources.list so that it will only include the following lines: deb ftp://ftp.usc.es/pub/mirror/linux/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://ceu.fi.udc.es/debian-non-US potato non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free 2) Now, as root, dpkg --get-selections "*" apt-get update apt-get install apt debconf apt-get -f dist-upgrade Do I need to take any precaution to execute the aforementioned commands? I think that I do not have to change to single user mode, etc. 3) From now on, if I want to upgrade to the latest release of potato I will have to do: apt-get update apt-get upgrade Is everything right? Thanks in advance. -- Santi
