Replacing Slackware with Debian
With Release 6, I would like to replace Slackware with Debian. I run
Linux as a single user on a 486 with a 1 gb drive split into 4 partitions:
1 - MSDOS
2 - Linux Swap
3 - Slackware
4 - Debian (for 0.93R6)
I would like to keep /home, /usr, /usr/local etc. on partition 3 and
put root and admin directories on partition 4.
I have perused the draft installation manual and have not found
information addressing a replacement installation. I know this topic was
discussed a few months ago, but that discussion is not archived on the
current mailing list archive.
What directories do I mount when installing Debian, and what Slackware files
and directories must I remove? and should that be done prior to the
installation? Or what the case be for a completely new install?
TIA-
