Italianoetching the gargoyle - execution
I got gargoyle, the etch upgraded testing box, ready from a week or so; it
was time to do the job.
I just followed the etch release notes step by step. For the impatient -
remembering that this a standard sarge headless box - this is what I did:
- changed the sources for apt
- updated the package list (
aptitude update) - performed an upgrade (
aptitude upgrade) - installed
intitrd-toolsto getlibc6andlocalesupdated (other things will be updated as well) - performed a dist upgrade (
aptitude dist-upgrade) - edited any configuration file that needs to be fixed or updated
- updated the package list again
- removed obsolete packages
- rerun lilo (
/sbin/lilo -v) - rebooted
Etched :)
Before following the step outlined above, keep in mind that you might have to perform some more or different steps, depending on your setup. Definitely read the release notes!
You have been warned...
