Been using that one. It is incomplete since it fails to mention the trashing of pcmcia, among other things. > Progeny to unstable > http://www.debianplanet.org/debianplanet/article.php?sid=414 > scott Now this is interesting. Why is it simpler than the Progeny->Woody upgrade? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tips 'n' Tricks: Progeny->Sid sidegrade Posted by DanielS on Tuesday, October 02 @ 11:19:55 BST (773 reads) Having now done 2 Progeny->sid sidegrades, it's quite easy. All you need is the latest Debian unstable sources in your sources.list and nothing else (well, non-US, but that's it). Now, type: # apt-get update # dpkg --purge --force-deps libfreetype6 # apt-get -f dist-upgrade You may need to do this a couple of times, but just doing it once worked for me, though I've only tried this on two machines. It's quite a good way to install Debian, if you hate the installer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How much "trouble" might I run into by choosing Unstable rather than Testing? Can the same commands be used to update from Testing? (If I did so am I likely to end up in the same place ... with no pcmcia functionality?) Meanwhile I have given up rescuing PCMCIA from the Progeny->Woody update. Am reinstalling Progeny for the 4th time in a matter of days so may once again access my pcmcia nic and ADSL. Sigh. With Progeny up I can try whatever command set seems most suitable to the task of a kernel-woody-pcmcia upgrade that all plays nice together! Thanks! Doc
