hello Now i am using Debian Etch and I am interested in going to testing. What should I do? Does adding the testing repo in sources.list and updating will work? Does all the base packages and all others get updated? Regards
GoudarI changed my sources list to point to testing and then (with a deep breath and confidence data was backed up), hit apt-get dist-upgrade. When I did it, it was only a few weeks after Etch was "fixed" so the updates have been gradual. But that is the process I used, although there may well be seasoned users who would recommend a different strategy.
