Re: Distribution Upgrade Tool
Here is my update. A full upgrade with Adept would not work either. After many minutes of running, it would popo up an error message (some broken packages) and refuse to install. RE trying wouldn't help.
I then tried upgrading all packages with Synaptic. That worked/ Athough:
1) you need to be around all the time because it asks you what to do with old configs files.
2) initramfs' were generated a lot, and I mean a lot of times, the installation was _really_ slow
3) Because of the broken package (I think the problem was libnotify, maybe some other packates too), i had to repeat the procedure (the second pass took a long time as well)
All in all, not a very good experience. A lot better than windows, or installing fresh IMHO. BUt we can do a lot better
On the bright side, everything seems to be running just fine.
Thank you all for the help, particularly MoonRise and Dibl. Kudos to you
Cheers !
