I am going to do the upgrade on my local (geneweb) database server first and I going to wait until squeeze has actually been released, rather than trying to do it now. It might be worth checking for any online upgrade tips, for example http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-upgrade-from-debian-lenny-to-squeeze suggests doing sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apt dpkg apt-get sudo apt-get dist-upgrade note his warnings about backing up your data/config info http://www.debian-administration.org/users/e5z8652/weblog/22 suggest doing aptitude update aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686 (use version to suit your architecture) ***reboot*** aptitude full-upgrade to avoid any udev problems I think upgrading the kernel before the full-upgrade is going to be important -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server
