Update to 1.1 report
Have just updated my system from 0.93R6 to 1.1 using Dale's by-hand
instructions (using dpkg). Worked wouthout problems (mostly -- see
below) and I'm glad I went by this method rather than using dselect;
I'm almost certain this (using dpkg) was the easier route.
Only problems I came across:
* ld.so-1.7.14-4 complains if binfmt_elf is in /etc/modules even if
your kernel has ELF support compiled in. Just remove binfmt_elt
from /etc/modules
* New revision: libc5-5.2.18-5 (was -4)
* New version: bsdutils-3.0-1 (was 2.0-2). This won't install until
sysvinit-2.60-1 is installed, so just do that first. (Dale suggests
doing it at the end, but I didn't have any problems doing it at this
point)
* I skipped mbr-1.0.0-2, as I boot from floppy
* dpkg -i doc/man*.deb also installs the German manpages (manpages-de)
which you may not wish to do
* Got a downgrade warning for ae-96.2-2, which I ignored
* Watch out you don't overrwrite /etc/passwd and /etc/group when
installing base-1.1.0-2
* New revision gzip-1.2.4-10 (was -9)
* New revision modules-1.3.69f-3 (was -1)
* sysklogd-1.3-1 has a bug in the preinst; apparently a new version is
on the way (but hasn't hit my mirror yet). I haven't re-installed
this yet, but it doesn't seem to be causing problems
* New revision tar-1.11.8-5 (was -4)
* Didn't bother with image-1.3.64 or the last two steps (sysvinit had
been updated earlier, and I don't use lilo)
All seems to be working fine.
Cheers,
# Dave
