I plan to upgrade to lenny over the weekend:
1. duplicate current etch system on a new partition
Good idea to be cautious.
2. apt-get update
2. replace "etch" by "lenny" in /etc/sources.list
These steps need to be reversed, obviously.
3. apt-get dist-upgrade
Am I missing anything?
Yes, a very important step: inform yourself of potential problems and
read the release notes first!

Hello
I recently ( yesterday :-) ) upgraded 3 servers from etch to lenny
following the same procedure mentionned above.
The only small problem came because I use HP proliant systems that
use the "famous" Broadcomm bnx2 driver which require to copy the
"firmware file" into /lib/firmware directory BEFORE doing the upgrade.
After doing that the upgrade have been successfully performed.
CAUTION ! I did that on servers *without* graphical environemment
I've also tried the same operation onto a workstation with gnome
graphical environemment and the upgrade failed , I've been forced
to reinstall the machine from scratch.
my two cents (of Euro) ...
