wiki:Aptgetdistupgrade

There is an outstanding bug with this procedure: #57

As everybody wants to use apt-get, here is the summary from the mailing-list:

  1. Change your /etc/apt/sources.list:
cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb http://download.hackable1.org/debian sid main
EOF
  1. Update and install hackable1, saying "yes" to everything
apt-get update; apt-get -y --force-yes install hackable1 notification-daemon
  1. And finally you can do the long-awaited
apt-get dist-upgrade
  1. If you want the new kernel, you have to use some hack: Kernel Boot Hack, preferably BEFORE you do the dist-upgrade.
