potato to woody upgrade again
Hi,
I upgraded from potato to woody today following the release notes and
this is what I found. The potato system was development tools and X and
that's about it.
The install went fine and post install I followed the directions exactly
and found the following:
1. dpkg --configure --pending (nothing was needed here)
2. apt-get install locales util-linux (not needed)
3. apt-get remove xbase (not needed)
4. apt-get install xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-scalable (not needed)
I don't know if these procedures in the release notes are needed anymore
in the notes but thought I would mention my experience.
I do have some questions.
How do I get xfree-4 working? It seems that all the packages are
installed but not active. Version 3 works after the upgrade but I would
like to try the new version.
I want to try to make this box a firewall. I want to use iptables so I
guess I need to install kernel 2.4 and iptables? I don't know the Debian
way here.
Any help appreciated.
Eric
