The keyword you need to look for is "release notes". You will find this
page:

http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/releasenotes

Unfortunately, all of the links on this page lead to a 404 error page.
That means there is no official howto yet. As an approximation, you
might replace "squeeze" with "lenny" in the URL above to look for
lenny's release notes.

Upgrades to squeeze will have its own quirks, for example the
grub->grub2 migration. Maybe wiki.debian.org helps you with these in
case you are going to try it.

(BTW, I have upgraded one of my lenny machines a few weeks ago. Apart
from the grub upgrade, everything went smooth. It is just a little
annoying to keep up with the daily updates on this machine and
postgresql-9.0 isn't installable at the moment.)

Thanks!

Moreover, I decide to migrate my 32-bit Debian GNU/Linux Lenny
installation to 64-bit one (i386 to x86_64). I'm going to use this
howto: http://wiki.debian.org/Migrate32To64Bit

Just make sure you dd the entire drive over to a backup drive before you try to migrate, unless it's trivial to just start over in the event of a major failure (which can always happen.)

Interesting approach. I would probably just mkfs my swap partition and
debootstrap there. Then reboot into the previous swap partition, clean
the old root and swap back again. That way, you can keep /home, /etc
etc. intact, too.

Here is a little article that explains it (while it might seem out of date it still works ~ gotta love linux for that) http://www.mckeay.net/2004/10/18/using-dd-to-clone-a-hd/

Another quirk some may come across is the udev problem. Upgrading the
kernel before upgrading udev is essential. I expect this will be in the
release notes eventually. Many people have upgraded successfully
without knowing this, probably by upgrading both at once, but it is
worth knowing.


(The current squeeze udev requires a recent kernel version, version
2.6.26 is too old; see bug #571255.)

'dd' works well and is on all/most *nix boxes. It takes lots of time though,
using one of the other imaging apps is much faster, if time is an issue.

There are numerous rescue cd's , most ,afaik, use 'partimage' .

Clonezilla, system rescue cd, etc.

'dd' is a part off coreutils, it is a 'required' package of Lenny.
