Bullseye (Debian 11) released. Tried update from Buster on an 8GB Intel<br>
Compute Stick (ICS). First, had to edit sources.list to get rid of<br>
"stable" and use<br>
buster to get up to date. Then changed the buster to bullseye and changed the<br>
buster/updates to buster-security. Used a link on /var/cache/apt/archives to<br>
the microsd card debian/archives dir. apt-get update then ran. Tried the<br>
dist-upgrade next, but ran out of space. cleaned up logs, copied all kernels<br>
and support files to microsd. Still not enough room, so ran autoremove, and<br>
that seemed to let lots of "setting up" to occur. Surprised me a bit, I was<br>
just expecting it to free up some space, not acutaly install anything.<br>
initramfs generation No kernel present, but ran! Copied the 5.10 kernel back<br>
from the microsd card, / is at 94%. Check /boot/grub/grub.cfg, oops, no 5.10<br>
kernel present (just the Antix 19 on the sd card, so run sudo update grub. OK,<br>
grub.cfg looks good, reboot and see (still running the 4.19 kernel) Reboot<br>
worked, put the /var/cache/apt/archives dir back in place (instead of a link<br>
to the microsd). Edited the hostname to bullseye. Background no longer blank,<br>
so made the terminal tranparency 0. Reboot and all looks good. Check the<br>
sources.list and looked like I failed to copy in the final 11 version. Just<br>
ran with the "stable" main. Copied in the 11 version (with the<br>
bullseye-security in place of buster/updates and got some updates. Do I really<br>
need the oxygen-icon-theme for 31MB or the papirus-icon-theme for 18MB? Cleaned<br>
out the /var/cache/apt/archives directory and the one on the microsd card too.<br>
<br>
Tried the Antix 19 boot off microsd in the ICS, and with success,<br>
called it done.<br>
