What hapens if I do "apt-get upgrade" without "dist"
And if I shall use the patch, how to do that. |

Partly I might be able to answer your question:
1.
Kanotix/Debian Sid should only be dist-upgraded in init 3. The reason is, Sid is not a stable distribution and a simple upgrade might miss dependencies you need.
2.
If there is a difference between a dist-upgraded system and the release only the masters of Kanotix can tell you. All my machines work to my greatest satisfaction, so I do not run a CD-upgrade. But I daily dist-upgrade (unless there is a warning).
3.
If you have just installed your Kanotix and never have done a dist-upgrade, then I would recommend a CD-upgrade. It spares you some problems you have to fix, the CD-upgrade does it automagically.
That's the part I know.
Greetings

Q1: patch is some code to repair some files without adding new funktions, A dist-upgrade exchanges a lot of files with new ones, giving them Patches and new funktions removes also files which are now no longer needed. related new files are also added.
Q2: Upgrade nearly the same as with dist-upgrade, but not adding new files or Funktions.
Q3: Patch depents on type of patch. CODE-Ppatch: no source is needed. Usefull for endusers who know, how Patch(Programm) is used.
Source-Patch: The soureces of the files are needed. only usful for maintainers.
Q4: As enduser with no expirence should not. Until they have read and understood the "README.Patch", how PATCH and the Patch himself works. |
