Greetings all! I'd like to ask about something I've never found clear information on.
Suppose one has an older stable version of Debian. For example, on one machine I have Debian 4 ("Etch"). on another Debian 5 ("Lenny"). But the current stable version is Debian 6 "Squeeze").
What are my chances of successfully upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze? And how to do it?
And then what about upgrading from Etch to Squeeze?
And what is likely to happen to packages (some external) installed on these obsolete Debians? (Especially where I have made my own modifications to software, most often configuration files and the like)?
I should add that within each version I have been happily and successfully following the upgrades from Debian for the various Debian packages.
All information and guidance welcome!
With thanks, Ted.
