You remember my previous post about my Sidux install, right ? Well, a good lot has happened since then.
I installed sidux thrice, yes THRICE, after that. All that for a simple net connection/router problem. And because I wanted ReiserFS, the filesystem of my root partition, to be replaced with ext3 again. Anyway, I had lots left to read in Linux For You, and the internet was still there, so I could amuse myself with something while sidux installed. Luckily, I have a seperate /home partition. This ensured that I don’t have to recustomise Sidux all over again. Anyway, once all my trouble seemed over, new trouble started…
Updating Sidux needs special care. As debian Sid is unstable, according to Sidux manual, upgrading and dist-upgrading from anywhere ecept in runlevel 3 terminal root session is dangerous. So I proceeded with a root login in a terminal.
Start system
ctrl + alt + F1 at KDM prompt
$ root
$ root password
# init 3
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
The last command made my life hell. I chose http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian as the repository, and it was a big mistake. I waited, waited and waited for a long long time, and wasted three fourths of an hour for nothing. I ended up doing a hard reboot, with only 30% of the download done at dirt speed, selecting the IIT Madras repository this time, and updating my apt-get. This time, it took hardly 20 minutes for an enitre redownload of the upgrades. I added a -d switch to the apt-get command, so that I may install software at leisure later, when I am less sleepy.
Then I proceded with dist-upgrade. As I write, I am still downloading. But yes, its really fast. I have again done the command with a -d switch. My first experience with an upgraded debian sid system is going to be written about in a day or so.
Till then, I give this advice to all my fellow Indians who want good debian repositories – IIT Madras is not only an enter-to-get-filthy-rich-quick educational institute. Its an excellent FOSS supporter, and hosts the best mirrors for Debian and Ubuntu repositories.
Good luck and wish you a happy updrade and a safe dist-upgrade.
