The IYCC Linux Repository
Upgrading from Ubuntu Hardy
To upgrade to IYCC Linux from Ubuntu Hardy, follow these instructions (the numbers on the far left are line numbers for reference only; do not type them):
1 sudo -s
2 cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
3 wget http://mirror.iycc.net/apt-lists/sources.list \
-O /etc/apt/sources.list
4 aptitude update
5 aptitude install grab-key
6 grab-key
7 reboot
NOTES:
- Warning! Upgrading is at your own risk. We've taken great care to make upgrades as painless as we know how, but we can't know specifics of your system. Consequently, don't upgrade if maintaining the current state of your machine is important to you. Don't upgrade if reinstalling everything on your system from scratch would be a problem for you. Back up anything you want to keep on your system. Rolling back to Ubuntu, while possible, is a non-trivial task. It may not be possible to get you back to your original configuration.
- After Line 1, you will be asked for your password. Type in YOUR password, not the root password.
- You may get a "File not found" error in response to Line 6, depending on the configuration of your system. If you do, change to your home directory, which is at /home/your-username-here, like this: "
cd /home/your-username-here". - You will see errors after Line 7 referring to an untrusted repository. The grab-key program automatically installs the key for you and upgrades your system with the IYCC Desktop experience.
This repository currently contains packages for the i386 architectures.
