Here's a cheat to upgrade:<br><br>Run: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade<br><br>Then copy every line in your sources.list files that begins with deb<br>or deb-src, replacing "edgy" with "feisty".
<br><br>Then run these commands:<br>apt-get update<br>apt-get dist-upgrade<br><br>It'll take a while, but you should be running Feisty by the end of the<br>process, as long as you don't abort the process, and as long as
<br>nothing breaks. It'll occasionally ask you if you want to overwrite a<br>modified configuration file. Knowing your system, chances are that's<br>fine. You can force it to automatically overwrite them by adding
<br>--force-yes to your commands. (Though that's not recommended.)<br><br>Again, once you start the dist-upgrade, *don't* abort it. If you do,<br>it really will be easier to re-install the system than to clean out
<br>all the broken bits.<br><br>On 10/14/07, Jason Kisner <<a href="mailto:airplanejay@gmail.com">airplanejay@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> On 10/14/07, Michael Mol <<a href="mailto:mikemol@gmail.com">
