I just migrated from Slackware 8 to Debian Woody. In Slackware, in order to
synch my Palm Tungsten T2 I upgraded to the 2.4.25 kernel and
module-init-tools 3.0. In Woody, I did the same thing, using the same
kernel config file when building the kernel, and even installed the latest

I've figured out enough of where everything is to get the web server running,
and it indeed comes up with the pages correctly. However, I don't have the

This is the problem. Dselect needs to have a structure like this:

Any way, my recommendation to instal from scratch comes from the fact
that I have no idea on how to migrate from Slackware to Debian. I
switched from Slackware to Debian about 1 year ago and installed from
scratch.

Hello all,
If I do get the Debian Linux distribution, how hard will it be to
install it in my Slakware system? My current system has been heavily

is there a reco

I bought Slackware a while back and installed it, but now I'd rather
install Debian (from what I see it's more flexible in the
installation). How can I install it? Should I reformat the HD and
re install everything? Forgive the sillyness of this question,

I would like to supplement Paul's excellent summary in respect to
Red Hat. Red Hat is heavily oriented towards Xwindows. The
installation program configures X very early, and the balance of the
installation uses Xwindow interface. They have several X-based
administration tools that they thi

I don't intend to promote Slackware on a Debian mailing list (I'm in
the process of `upgrading' from Slackware to Debian), but there are
some mistakes in the above.

I didn't know that Debian can use RedHat packages. Can dpkg do it or do
I need something more?

I wonder if it is possible to upgrade from slackware to debian, and
keep most of my system. Is there an easy way to do this, or should I
just fdisk the thing and start all over?
Any suggestions?
