Yes, Anne Bezemer was talking about that a couple of months before the
release. Apparently buzz (1.1, the first official release) to potato is
possible with a little manual intervention and one reboot
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd-0005/msg00018.html); there are
instructions at
http://panic.et.tudelft.nl/~costar/potato/upgrade-i386/UPGRADING.html.
I've no idea how well they work. :)

oldest single-step upgrade to 2.2

2000-12-17 Thread Russell, Richard \(DEH\)
Hi...

been off the list for a while, just got back on...

I vaguely recall that about when 2.2 came out, someone was saying that they
upgraded in one hit from a very old version of debian and it worked fine.
What version was it that they upgraded from,and what trouble (if any) did
they come across? (If anyone can remember, that is... :)

Thanks
