7 boxes to debianize
I've got seven boxes to switch over to debian from windows NT in the next
couple of weeks. I plan to mount /usr and /home NFS.
I have one stormix installation disk. My Debian 3 pack of CDs has a bad
first CD. Anyone changed a stormix box to straight debian?
As a test I switched /etc/apt/sources.list to point to debian sources on a
stormix test box. Update from dselect ran fine, but told me i needed nine
hours to wait for updates. Since I am going to mount /usr NFS i don't
really need these updates in full. I think I only need one file server box
with updated /usr programs. On the client boxes I believe i mainly need a
kernel update (stormix version is 2.2.14, I plan to run 2.2.19) and updates
to /etc files .
Any ideas on less painful ways to do this? I don't know what the kernel
version on the latest boxed set of CDs is. I suspect I would need these
upgrades even if I had straight debian CDs.
Many thanks for any tips, warnings or informed harangues.
