This is my first post but I just could not keep this to my self.
I have bean looking around the forum, and ells were, for some time now to find a way to upgrade my Bubba Two from Etch to something newer to get rid of all dependency problems when trying to install new programs. My Linux skills are weary limited, there now its out there.
But here is a guide even I managed to follow with only some miner errors but nothing groundbreaking. I only upgraded to Lenny but pleas do give feedback if you try to go further.

How ever. I can give 2 tips that would have made my day a bit easier. This could have bean unique to my upgrade, hard for me to tell.
-When I was running the aptitude dist-upgrade the terminal was flooded with a error that there was something wrong with the language (or regional) settings. In between the error lines you can see that the update is still going strong. So don't worry. When aptitude was done i just run
Code: Select all
dpkg-reconfigure locales-The second is when you create the new "/etc/apt/preferences" file. I used copy and paste for moste of the commands and when you paste the echo command to create the file, it will put an extra line brake between every line. So if you don't edit this out in the file before running aptitude you will get an error saying something about a problem with the headers. I found this out via Google.
After doing this you will end up with a system with Lenny (or maybe even Squeeze). BUT the Bubba webinterface will be gone and if you have the Wireless Bubba you have to set up the card yourself (I think the drivers i installed, but I havent bean able to connect to my gateway (I have only tried for an hour or so).
Good luck.
Ps. My spelling is not the best, so if you feel generous or maybe so annoyed that you feel something have to be done. Pleas do send me a PM, so I can edit it before my old English teacher stumbles over this post and get a hear tattack.
