Re: Problems upgrading from potato to woody
I don't know about the lilo isssue but yes the X issue is a well
known problem. Do a apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xbase-clients
(that one might be xclients-base) xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-100dpi and run xf86config to create a xf86config file and
you should be fine.
