I am wondering why you are wondering :-) I'm asking my self how to migrate from sarge to lenny? Is it more complicated question, that deserves attention? I was also thinking to ask here, but then ... I decided not because it's elementary ... still asking is good approach for exchanging experience. Isn't it? I was thinking to make a copy of the system and try system upgrade (apt-get ...), test and see what happens. This is preferred because it's a server. If it does not work, I would install and migrate the services, which makes also sense, because I can document some things in parallel. The second approach is still more time consuming. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
