Upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze
I have a dual boot Windows XP / Lenny Toshiba Qosmio G25 laptop. I have
it setup for dual boot with XP on one hard drive and Linux on the other.
I wanted to upgrade to Squeeze. I ran an Aptitude upgrade by changing
Lenny to Squeeze in the /etc/apt/source.list file and then running the
usual update sequence. Everything worked except Postgresql 8.4 refused
to configure. After reading the bug reports I concluded that this is a
serious bug that isn't going away soon. So I burned a Squeeze Network
Installation Disk (6.1 beta) and attempted to install the new system
that way. The Squeeze disk didn't recognize the windows system and
trashed my boot files. I finally did a fresh installation using my old
Lenny Network Installation Disk. This corrected all of the problems but
leaves me back where I started.
Can anyone tell me how I can do this upgrade safely and effectively.
