Thank you, Rob. This is very very helpful. In step 2, you not only changed "lenny" to "squeeze" but also "debian-volatile" to "squeeze-updates" in the following lines? Or did you do something else? Sorry for the extra question, this is not documented in Release Notes. deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main Thank you, Mark
