How do I upgrade from Debian Lenny to Squeeze?

Here you go:
(please do that in textmode and not in your GUI, so KDE or whatever can be restarted without any issues)

 

  • vi /etc/apt/sources.list
    (change lenny to squeeze)
    Should look like this:
    deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
    deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian squeeze-updates main contrib non-free
  • aptitude update
  • aptitude install apt dpkg aptitude
    (accept the first solution, it is usually fine)
  • aptitude full-upgrade
    (read through the suggestion, but the first one is usually the best)
  • aptitude upgrade

enjoy!
