I will be converting from Woody to Sarge real soon now. :-)
Are these steps correct?
1. apt-get update
2. If necessary apt-get upgrade
3. change sources.list to point to Sarge
4. apt-get update
5. apt-get upgrade
6. perform step 5 as necessary
7. apt-get dist-upgrade
I don't want to use aptitude as I have a small HD (1.3G) and need to
restrict packages.
Then again maybe I can tweak aptitude not to pull in 'reccommends' and
'suggests' packages?
How have other people found going from Woody to Sarge?
