Hi,
I'm converting an old laptop from an outdated debian-etch over to
ubuntu-feisty -- I want to use the 2.6.19 kernel. It's likely to be
ugly, but I remember that it was a bit difficult to get the installer to
work on this machine, so my plan is to remove all x-based apps and
unnecessary libs and then do a crossgrade. I was just wondering whether
there's some lib files I can remove to ensure that all x-based packages
are also removed. any suggestions?
thanks,
matt
Try removing x11-common.
That said, you may also want to consider the debootstrap method of
installation. If you can get any sort of live removable Linux system
running - perhaps a floppy-based distribution, like tomsrbt - then you
should be able to download debootstrap onto the hard drive and install
Ubuntu without using the installer. The Debian installation manual has a
reasonably good guide to the process, and the instructions apply to
Ubuntu as well, for the most part.
Yours sincerely,
Constantine Evans
