Dear debian-user,
I am trying to upgrade the kernel from 2.4 to 2.6.
I installed the kernel-image-2.6-686 package (which depends on
kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686), but it failed to boot,
with messages as follows:
...
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-686 root=/dev/hda5 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-3
In the "Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 3.1"
it states:
Distribution upgrade should be done either
locally from a textmode virtual console
(or a directly connected serial terminal),
or remotely via an ssh link.
Whats the worse that can happen if a dist upgrade
is done from a local X s
Is there some easy way to detect whether a particular binary
contains code to access the network (as client or server)?
Maybe there is a list of the net apps (under Debian)?
Cheers.
Aurelio.

Some will argue that it is good to do a complete reinstall

If I install Debian on a single partition,
what is the worst that can happen,
in the following two cases (the two most
cited justifications for having multiple
partitions):
1: A runaway root process fills up the disk.

Of all the Linux Distributions, Debian is said to have the most advanced
packaging system.
I regard the packaging system as very important. So, I will be installing
Debian (probably 2.2r2, from CD).
But before I do that, I would like to clarify what the recommended upgrade
strategy is.
