Description: Upgrade from bo to hamm
This package might be dangerous for your system! Backup first and read the
following instructions:
.
This package will upgrade an existing bo (Debian 1.3.X) system to a glibc
based hamm (Debian 2.0) system. For that purpose around 7 Megabytes worth
of .deb packages must either be transferred to the system or be already
present on the system. Make sure that you have at least 30MB free if you
intend to install this package.
.
Attention: Please install this package with "dpkg -i bo-upgrade*.deb". DO
NOT install this package using dselect unless you are absolutely sure what
you are doing.
.
On installation this package will make sure that all the .deb packages you
need for an upgrade are present on the system. If that is the case then it
will start a background job and dpkg will return to the Linux prompt.
.
The background job will notice when dpkg has finished and perform the
upgrade. At the end of the upgrade utmp and wtmp will be cleared, the
bo-upgrade package will be purged and then the system will reboot. After the
reboot you should be able to use dselect to install other Debian 2.0 packages
possibly doing a complete upgrade.
.
The package will write logs to /root/nohup.out
.
If this package does not cause a reboot then the installation was not
successful. Please reconfigure this package using "dpkg --configure
bo-upgrade" until the system reboots.
.
If you find anything that you can improve then do it and reupload the new
package or send me the diffs.
