Re: how to upgrade debian to 2.2

[cls--colo spgs <pplaw@pcisys.net>]

hi nick,

here's what i did:

1.  added the "potato" entry to  /etc/apt/sources.list
.  (ex: below)

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main
contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable
non-US
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main
contrib non-free
^^^^^^^add the above line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
file^^^^^^^^^^

2. type: apt-get update

3. type: apt-get dist-upgrade

4. check on it every once in a while; it takes a few
hours (on a 56k connect).

5. have fun!
