Hi Dedaco,
I _think_ that the issue of how to upgrade has been covered.
The release notes cover new features / removed software: the installation
notes cover features of the installation.
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ has
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrade-to-debian-oldrelease
and section 4.2 covers this in detail. The instqallation guide is probably
not so relevant once you have a running Debian system.
Since the release on June 14th or so, this has been extensively covered
in threads here on this list as people have hit problems but I agree, we
could always do more. It has been repeated a few times in different
places that you can't jump a release straightforwardly, so it has to
be 9 -> 10 -> 11.
Having remade all the steps - do you now have a working system now?
[I'm busy fighting with a system that hasn't been upgraded in a while
and has flaky hardware at the moment: it's often hard to see where
problems are coming from when you are in the middle of them.]
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
