Non-the-less, it's not something that many people will have attempted, and there are quite likely to be things that might slip through the net. Not just things within the Debian ecosystem: a machine running Lenny was presumably installed in or around 2009, so there's nearly 9 years worth of local sysadmin changes that might have been made. > I had few problems from wheezy to lenny, That would be downgrading by two releases. That's bound to be troublesome. >but almost no problem from lenny to stretch. That's the path that OP's friend would be attempting (as lenny is currently oldoldoldoldstable). I'm glad it worked for you, but I would still not recommend it to anyone else. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
