An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
#56
Just a quick piece of information: Daniel publishes a kernel for Debian unstable, too, so it is possible to upgrade to unstable after using the installer.  The process is quite simple:

  1. Make a backup!  Make a backup!  Make a backup!  (Yes, I ignored that advice -- I still have nearly no data on this machine, so I decided I could just reinstall.)
  2. Update "/etc/apt/sources.list" to reflect the new release.  There is one potential stumbling block.  I had multiple active lines in the file, one for the main packages, one for updates, and one for security.  The ones for updates and security don't exist for sid, so I ended up with a single active line in this file.
  3. Update "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-obs.list" to reflect the new release.
I ended up with two active lines, one in sources.list and one in kernel-obs.list:


Code:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/danielthompson/Debian_Unstable ./


By "active line" I mean a line that isn't commented out, nor blank.

After this, "apt update"  and "apt full-upgrade" did the heavy lifting.
