When I said "a direct jump" I was thinking on security patches support lifecycle, that is, in having lenny patches delivered until wheezy is released, not in running a direct upgrade. In fact I never do "in place" upgrades (which overwrites the last running system), I always install a new linux release in pararel, on a separate partition. With todays hard disks capacities space is not a constraint. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
