Hello DL Community! I'm happy to announce that the second release candidate of Devil-Linux 1.6 is now available for download. This release bring the linux kernel 3.2.4, mysql 5.5.20, fixes to reported issues, and many other updates. Please read the changelog for details. I was just realizing that I am still running DL 1.2-RC1 on my router at work. :0! Any suggestions, advice, warnings about trying to make such a large upgrade jump all at once? No problems with the current setup, just thinking maybe I should upgrade at least once every 8 or 9 years. :D! Maybe this would be a good test of the upgrade process? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.

I doubt that the upgrade will be very successful. You can try to go to 1.4 first, then to 1.6. Do you have a lot configured on the router? If it's just a firewall/router, it may be a lot easier to simply transfer the settings/config files to a new 1.6 (cleaner also). There have been a lot of improvements since 1.6 (and a lot of security fixes), so upgrading is highly recommended. Caution: The version I uploaded is only for Pentium and up. -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org Thanks for the reply! I only run D-L as a firewall-router, so I'm thinking the only really important things to copy would be the dhcpd.conf file, the ifconfig files and the firewall-rules file. Probably would be much cleaner to just start from scratch. It is running an AMD Athlon XP 2100+, I'm sure the version will work just fine! I'll give it a try Sunday morning when things should be a bit quiet at work. |
