After squeeze becomes the stable release and lenny becomes old stable. At this time, there will be squeeze release notes detailing the upgrade process. - --- Jordan Metzmeier -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJMPeQzAAoJEKj/C3qNthmTMbgP/Rg2Uqf0+x4FBR07itYj1PR+ /wHII7TOj7R4RS2/eYZ/2DIqyPPB5+DihjbDTUX/+26KfeYVAed9Wx6cAi8PsbSs 98+ywQywq6zKqEZSmThXMNtcrV+ccH58lQUDONoDY2ZB59FsagJIZzHGv2UU2QYf L96cgFAVqjKQFI3BjfxUcvursqyHaUyHqMnyKJRABc3/8eqpB1lTZJD/945RG8Rn kayxp+ItOAjnKV9yaBz6WNNo26j5RF3Ybs4p1zN5hoBfyKCHFqiwF/onrGL2vleZ W7vtbX8GgJKyXUUcnFLgAJ7j1/TVkXnwRuxbnX7ZfVk8uvwlGBA1NVZ5oEHEhCL4 zkmqaeXTs3dcilWQ4xMdt0Ol+tU2I5GPp29MxZWlEofQ3YLHcikoQf9wiav6EUtx ShYn9S7YU0ut+U38g+jYCborca24AH6MTsa4+H54sWkJiSbQ9F25eZ92MDaEvpfD EpLNpsGSDZO8ToOa86k9nWeMLBtBigCLDvV7XFU3EAFkLtRbSeZu/dVpL374fKQo yJOJTUCFqdAWsgoQhhHvZz544YUf0WGibX4MGrrmZWWcrZAlDfU7sFB1zroA9jpu mvqv96/I+xjHXUrzRsDpDcPl4fcL3waWtUETNciDrvT48hRs4xbasPreH9y3dMLF 1C4PlqlGv5MkhdV3+QtN =3oMP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I tend to agree. I know from painful experience that doing an upgrade by "winging it", can sometimes leave one with a broken system. Following the release notes is important. And the release notes are usually not up to date until the release becomes the stable release. If you must upgrade sooner, you can usually, but not always, follow the release notes from the previous release, but there is usually a wrinkle or two that is unique to the current release. I know, for example, that there will be boot loader issues involving hook scripts, etc. And these are not documented in the Lenny release notes. -- .''`.

Stephen, I found the following somewhat related information a bit refreshing. I'm hoping it's a sign that lilo may be kept in the distro after all. /me crosses fingers From: http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20100626 Kernel Updates The kernel images included in this point release incorporate a number of important and security-related fixes together with support for additional hardware. On the amd64 and i386 architectures, support has been re-introduced for automatically running the lilo bootloader when a kernel image is added, updated or removed in order to ensure that this is correctly registered with the bootloader. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Maybe what is "best" for you is not "best" for others. That's the real concern. Cheers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
