Hi Mark,

Not to sound rude, but may I recommend that you take a look at the TLUG
archive. There have been several recent threads on this topic that you
may find interesting. The address is:

Does anyone remember the specific thread?


Generally, most people find the Debian upgrade system works for them,
especially if using the "stable" branch.
