My first failed attempt was:
- edit /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt update
- apt upgrade or apt dist-upgrade (don't remember exactly)
After that, the system was broken.
So, I've used dd to restore the original mrfixit Debian.
After that, I've done something like:
- edit /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt update
- apt install package
I've repeated to install package by package, fixed conflicts by hand (don't remember al the details), until everything was upgraded.
Note, that I don't recommend this. It was fun to do, but for example my webcam doesn't work (don't need it) and I'm sure there are other things broken too.
I've also installed dwm, so that I have a "desktop environment" that suits me best...
You should also hold back xorg as that is custom.
