Thanks for the reply.
I currently have a working sarge, but I'm on dial-up so
aptitude dist-upgrade isn't practical.
The system is also in daily use, so I don't want to attempt an upgrade
and then have to spend ages picking up the pieces if it fails. What
I normally do is install the upgrade to another partition and dual-
boot. When I'm happy with the new version (or distro) I configure
it to mount the other partitions (/home etc) and make it the default
boot.
The sarge that I have installed is a bit of a hack too. The default
sarge install kernel didn't recognise my SATA controller, so I had
to boot another kernel before installing, which meant that the
modules didn't load properly and I had to do some configuration
by hand later. So I really don't want to try to upgrade it.
Maybe I'll give it a go. I'll let you know the results if I do.
