How to upgrade from warty to hoary...

Tue Apr 5 12:05:13 UTC 2005

Okay, I did it! I was quite easy. It just took a really long time, but the 
network here is very slow, sometimes.

I had some problems with Xorg, even dpkg-reconfiguring xorg-xserver. It didn't 
get the right frequencies for my screen, although I could have made some mistake.

Anyway, I had a copy of xorg.conf from a Fedora 2 installation on the same host, 
and that had to work, luckly.

I still have some minor problems with xscreensaver, who says the refresh is too 
slow, but I can happily do without it working.

Many thanks to all who answered!

Best regards.
