This is Debian, not Ubuntu! Upgrading-in-place is Easy.
Presuming you have a good internet connection, this *should* be all
you need to do:
1. Edit sources.list, replacing all lenny or stable references with
testing.
..you meant "sid" or "unstable", "testing" buys you Squeeze
and whatever follows it, and you volonteer as a test user,
for Debian. ;o)
2. # apt(itude) update && apt(itude) dist-upgrade
3. Reboot. to activate new kernel.
4. Edit sources.list, replacing testing with unstable.
5. # apt(itude) update && apt(itude) dist-upgrade
6. Reboot, to activate new kernel.
..steps 4, 5 and 6 are necessary why? Me, I've
always been successful going straight to Sid.
I always (not that I need to do it often) make the intermediate
step. Guess I'm just a Nervous Nelly about some things.
But then, when I *do* do it, it's always with a minimal system,
where I wait until I'm on Sid to install the bulk of the packages.
