You can find a copy of my sources.list here
http://apt.harleystudio.co.za/misc/aptsources.tar.gz

Unpack the file into /etc/apt as root

run in root terminal

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade

Hope it helps!

Thanks,
I will try this and let you know. I tried something like that but the stuff I had in my my sources.list hopefully is wrong. :-)

I noticed that all stuff in the sources.list file was commented out via # and the 64studio.list file in sources.list.d had some that was not. Will apt-get know to use the 64 ones when I do the update and upgrade?

Thanks again I have sent my friend email with the info . Will know late tonight.

Had too may errors. We did a fresh install of Debian net install this time just base. Then got the key with
"wget -q -O - http://trac.64studio.com/64studio/browser/64studio/trunk/apt/key?format=raw|apt-key add -" info came from here "http://64studio.com/faq_user". Then follow the directions Quentin Harley gave us , using his sources.list. When my friend went to bed it was still installing seems like this time may work. Will find out tommorrow.

Thanks

air4time> Debian may work. Will find out tommorrow.
The Debian method should work ok, if not, here's another one.

Install 64studio-install_1.0.0_i386 cd. (or amd64). I have installed "i386" here.

http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/1.0/

# = root
# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/64studio.list

deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/stable 64studio main

Make sure 64studio stable is the only source enabled.

# apt-get update
# 64studio-upgrade

accept the defaults to any questions. e.g. bootsplash (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ? I [Enter]

64studio 2.0... You are done...Stable...Reboot.
--------------------------------------------------
Use Stable for a while to make sure it's ok. Then.
--------------------------------------------------
If you want to try moving to to 64studio 2 testing!

# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/64studio.list

deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/stable 64studio main

deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing 64studio main

Make sure 64studio stable & testing are the only sources enabled.

# apt-get update
# 64studio-upgrade

64studio 1.0 to 2 testing...

I Followed this Guide.

From your link.

I think the problem is 64 Studio is not installed so upgrade is not working. Get theme errors as well as errors installing 64 . A shame to cause sounds like we are right there. Boots up but has nothing but a term running after log in. Even has BG but can not do nothing out side of the term program. Can I reinstall all?

Hi,
If you have access to a cd-writer you can go here
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/1.0/
Download &
Install 64studio-install_1.0.0_i386 cd. (or amd64).?
Once the install is complete login to your desktop open a terminal
su to root:
$ su
# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/64studio.list

deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/stable 64studio main

* Make sure 64studio stable is the only source enabled. *

gnome, xorg and libraries upgrade better
if they are not running during during the upgrade.
The upgrade "will" work from your desktop! A terminal is my choice.
When you have checked 64studio stable is the only source enabled.
Log out from your desktop, to the login screen.
typing [ctrl] + [alt] + [f1] will drop you into a terminal.
Login as root.

type:
# apt-get update
# 64studio-upgrade

The 64studio-upgrade will want to remove some packages
e.g. "firefox", this is fine, iceweasel will replace it.

I refused to accept bcm43xx-fwcutter,
after errors on first upgrade attempt.
I accepted the defaults to any questions. e.g.
bootsplash (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ? I or Y [Enter]

See here.

Cheers,

dave.

will do that in a few days and post here.

Is a rock solid release without any upgrades.
I upgraded twice, just to check it out.
Hope it goes ok for you, looking forward to your post.

Cheers,

dave

I bought a usb dvd burner a while back, and used it to install 64studio on an old laptop. You might want to look for a (still working) second hand one. It may ease the trouble of getting and installing 1.0, upgrading to 2.0 and only then upgrading to 2.1.

The upgrade procedure does work well now though, thanks to a lot of effort by Free. It is a viable option.

My 2c

Sure would save a lot of work and time.
It is a big install/upgrade, took a few hours here.

q> The upgrade procedure does work well now though,
q> thanks to a lot of effort by Free. It is a viable option.

The install/upgrade went very smooth here, and seemed very solid once it completed, I didn't have time to check out many things, but I was well happy with the result. The journey was a good lesson.

* 64studio-install_1.0.0_i386.iso 20-Jul-2007
Its still under a year old, when you think how old w2k/Xp are it's quite new.
But you have to consider how fast Linux is moving on.

you gotta luv linux.

:edit:?
If you choose the no GUI method [ctrl] + [alt] + [f1]
As xorg upgrades and configures the screen "might" drop you back to the LogIn screen.
This does not mean the upgrade is complete, type:
[ctrl] + [alt] + [f1] again, and the verbose will continue to completion.
root@#
once you see root@# type:

# halt (or) shutdown -h now
to turn off the computer
