Hi, List :-)
I have been holding fire in changing my desktop from my nice stable TDE on
Squeeze until TDE for Wheezy sounded less dicey. I then delayed further when
it recently stabilised because I had too much else going on in my life, and
as I said, my system is great. I love TDE 3.5.13.2.
But the time has come to upgrade. Other things have simmered down a bit,
anyhow temporarily, so the time has come.
In the past, I have always reinstalled. This time I want to try upgrading.
When I edit my sources.list, I assume that I change the word squeeze to
wheezy in my TDE repositories too? (Including Slávek's.) And that I just do
a standard Debian update, dist-upgrade? (Yes, I have read the release notes.
And yes, I shall make sure that I have got at least two backups of my data in
at least two different places.)
All advice and tips welcome. "Just go ahead"s perhaps even more welcome!
Thanks,
Lisi
Hi,
I would not put my hands in the fire on that, but deb package management is known to be
reliable, if you do a backup of your personal data first, I don't see why it should
not be done. PCLinuxOS is a rolling release, which means that many packages are replaced
many times during the ''installation life of the system'', and it rarely
gets messed up after an update.
To be 100% sure of what to write in your sources.list, I recommend you to visit the TDE
Debian installation instructions.
If you are used to reinstall your system every time and you did backup your data first,
the worst thing that could happen is that it would render you installation unusable and
you'll need to reinstall.
Tell us if it works as it should :)
