Or maybe that was the upgrade to Etch.
You hadn't specified "from squeeze to qheezy" and you were therefore implying that it was a general approach. Still from memory because I don't have the time check at the moment: The upgrade from squeeze to wheezy didn't involve rebooting between upgrade and dist-upgrade. The upgrade from lenny to squeeze involved upgrade, install linux-image and udev, reboot, and dist-upgrade. The upgrade to lenny or to etch involved upgrade, install linux-image and something else, and dist-upgrade. So there's no single upgrade method... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
