You will need to perform a new install of Debian 2.2 - moving from Mandrake
to Debian isn't an upgrade, it's a whole new life! BUT if you have "home"
mounted on a separate partition then the installation process will allow you
to simply to mount it rather than format it.
You should back up as much as you can before you start.......
Good luck - it is worth the effort!
