Yes, that matters. And like Jordan said, you should boot with the new kernel before upgrading udev, because Squeeze's udev is not compatible with Lenny's kernel. See bug #571255� for the gory details.

That's of little to no value since "security" will do nothing for packages you already have a higher version installed due to you going for Squeeze (it shouldn't hurt, either, so go as you please). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Unfortunately for me, these images did not recognise all my hardware, whereas the weekly build full CD image did. They are using the sid installer which is why they have a more up to date version. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Everything boots OK but gdm wont start properly and doing aptitude safe-upgrade/full-upgrade acctualy shows some errors about udev. Funny thing is I did aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686 before everything, but this acctualy pull'd a lot of things.. including udev. Weird that new udev depends on new kernel,but in same time it depends on it ? So without having any time for fixing, and without any graphical inv. would downloading and installing daily netinst cd of squeeze work OK ? http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/ tnx. -- Amar ÄosiÄ amar.cosic(a)gmail.com amar(a)amar.ba +38761240095 http://www.amar.ba |
