Re: apt-get dist-upgrade



With potato the dist-upgrade will do the same as the normal upgrade,if you
upgrade to woody, after that you don't upgrade for a while, you might have
to do a dist-upgrade to really upgrade the system.

I like to think: don't expect a upgrade to go smoothly, just be happy if
it does...
