Sorry? When you apt-get dist-upgrade, and there's something wrong, it spews
errors. Seeing what the errors are makes it easier to help you out.

Use modconf to configure which kernel modules are loaded if you're running
the default kernel package.

If you're upgrading to woody, edit your sources.list and change 'stable' to
'unstable'. Then:

apt-get update          # this gets the new lists of packages from the woody
                        # trees)
apt-get dist-upgrade -u # this upgrades your distro, I use -u to tell me
                        # which packages it's installing

Then you will have a woody. :)

Because you asked for it. :)

When I do an install, I choose the 'easy' option (because for once, it
actually is the better option), and choose perhaps two of the tasks (c dev
and devel common).

Then I install the packages that I need. Very cool for having a minimal
distro...
