What is "rough" about 1. Alter sources.list 2. apt update 3. apt upgrde 4. apt full-upgrade ? If it was any simpler, there would be complaints that upgrading from one Debian version to another is too smooth. :) There is a school of thought which maintains that a reininstallation is preferable to an upgrade when there is a new stable. You appear to belong to this school, which is fine. -- Brian.
