Upgrading to Woody and Config'ing
Hello,
** I am not subscribed to the list, so please CC replies to

I have just been given remote access to a box I am going to use as a
server. It has Debian 2.2 (stable) installed. (It's a Sun Ultra 1
(sparc64)).
What I want to do is the following:
- Remove unwanted packages
- Upgrade to Debian woody (testing)
- Upgrade the kernel
- Change the network settings
Plese could you tell me how I can do the following:
1) Get a list of all the packages on the system, so I can deselect the
ones I dont want and it will uninstall them.
2) The best way to go from stable->testing.
3) When you install debian you get that nice graphical thing to change
the network settings / timezone - how can i get that back now to change
these without having to manually change config files on a distro I am
not used to.
Aside: Is debian/woody stable enough for a production box? I dont want
to use debian/potato as the packages are all too old. I would use sid,
but that probably is not suitable for a production box, right?
Thanks!
Bye for Now,
Ian
