5.4 migration

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

It seems there's a small migration task involved in updating a system to 5.4.

Beware not to install kfreebsd5 by accident.  The 5.4 packages you should have
are:

rmh at orthanc:~$ apt-cache --names-only search kfreebsd-image-5- 
kfreebsd-image-5-486 - kernel of FreeBSD 5 image
kfreebsd-image-5-586 - kernel of FreeBSD 5 image
kfreebsd-image-5-686 - kernel of FreeBSD 5 image
kfreebsd-image-5-686-smp - kernel of FreeBSD 5 image

Choose as appropiate for your system, and install explicitly.  Because the
Priority of the packages has changed, you'll have to convince apt that the
replacement is necessary with a "Do as I say!" message.

Again, beware of dist-upgrade not installing any obsolete packages that would
replace your working kernel with something possibly broken.
