I blew away my version of Etch and installed Debian lenny from scratch. The
main reasons for doing this was two fold
- I had not kept sufficient notes for all my installations (on paper), and I
wanted to blow some of these away.
- I wanted to ensure that all my obsolete librarys etc (from using apt-get)
were removed
In short: installation was very smooth with the following exceptions
- I used the latest daily build netinst. This had two minor bugs
- It kept asking me after each step if I wanted to abort the installation
- I could not find the reportbug installation command. I think I have
found it now and will report later
- (I also could not install grub but had to use lilo... not sure why)
- I had problems installing my FSFE card reader. Contrary to instructions I
had to install
- libpcsclite-dev (the instruction say this is only required if you are
NOT using a USB reader)
- In addition to libusb-dev
I then had to reboot to ensure the card reader worked
(I also had to copy across my old public and private keys to .gnupg/secring.gpg)
Tasks still to go
- Installation of my printer, java and mplayer
My perception is that lenny boot is quicker than etch
