Hi,
I upgraded from Sarge to Etch one of my servers.
But the kernel is still the old kernel with sarge in the end and not Etch's.

What does your sources.list look like? I could understand this behavior
if you had non-Debian archives included that pr
ly-operational upgrade from Sarge to Etch. It gave a long list of
installed packages - almost all of which were part of the Debian
install.
The generated list included one of the two non-Debian packages (opera)-
deleted during the install and replaced subsequently. It failed to find

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade my distribution from sarge to
etch.
Having upgraded successfully the 2.4 kernel to 2.6, I
update my sources.list (change sarge to stable, so I
get etch) and I run aptitude upgrade. Then ...
aptitude dist-upgrade

Hi.
I had a sarge system running as a print server. After upgrading it to
etch, I recreated the cups config files (the old ones didn't work) and
the printers.
The strange thing is... I have an Epson Stylus Color 850, and there are
two drivers in the list given by Cups that would work with it:
