To upgrade to the next version of Debian one edits /etc/apt/sources.list, runs 'apt-get update', and uses 'apt-get dist-upgrade' (or the equivalent commands for other apt front ends). 'apt-get upgrade' is intended for upgrading all packages in your current distribution to the most recent versions. Dist-upgrade is more aggessive and will remove packages if necessary. > I do like the "rolling update" feature some distribution, such as Arch, > have. You can do "rolling updates" when running Testing or Unstable. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
