The aptitude interface -especially with the integrated 'help', is far from hard to get on top of, but how I used to do it is:Please excuse the dumb question, but: Is this still the recommended way to upgrade from Sarge to Etch?: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.htmlThat page makes it out like using aptitude is somehow better than apt-get. I've never used aptitude, only apt-get, I'm quite comfortable with all the apt-* tools. It apt-get dist-upgrade just as good?Thanks, JW
'aptget update' 'aptget upgrade'Then change your sources list in /etc/apt/sources.list through an editor, then:
'aptget update' 'aptget -u dist-upgrade' That should do it. Regards, -- David Palmer Linux User - #352034
