I am about to cobvert a system from Red Hat to Debian. Idealy I would
do a fresh install from scratch, but am trying to avoid this. While
at the Linux Expo in NYC last month, the Debian Booth people
reccomended a program that I think they reffered to as "Debian Hijack"
or something similar, to convert the directory structure, etc... prior
to performing a Debian 3.0 upgrade. Does anyone know what program
they are reffering to and it's source? Any input would be much
appreciated. Thanks!
I remember what you're talking about, don't recall the name ...
But I'd strongly suggest biting the bullet and installing debian from scratch, anyway. In the long run, it will make maintenance *much* easier.
(If it helps, I backed up the data, /etc directory, etc from a RedHat install several years ago and was able to migrate all the settings to Debian pretty easily. Got it up and running in a day. So I really don't see much need to convert the installation, with all of the file location and version issues that this will cause, not to mention the lack of dependency tracking.)
Thanks.
