The isos on the download page are rather old (2024/12/26). Is there a plan to update them to the current version of siduction? I would like to do a clean, new install with the latest version. Thank you for your response.
Well, it is a bit outdated, that's true, but with apt update, apt full-upgrade (maybe with the option --solver 3.0) you should get an actual system.
You can also use our tesbuilds, not tested by us but functional, and we use them without problems.

See this post (okay from the date outdated but still actual). --> https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=8679.msg69249#msg69249
I went with the 2024 iso and the install went surprisingly smoothly. No problems. Next is the upgrade which I am sure will take some time due to my limited internet connection. You suggested "--solver3.0" after the apt full-upgrade, and I am not sure what this will do for me. I don't see anything like that in the apt documentation. Perhaps you could explain just a bit more. The research and learning continues. :-)
I have no much time, its relatively new, it's the best to read the blog article off the maintainer

QuoteYou suggested "--solver3.0" after the apt full-upgrade
not after but with:
apt update && apt --solver 3.0 full-upgrade
The quick answer: solver 3.0 makes it less likely to install conflicting/breaking packages. It's an upgrade to what's already in apt, but isn't yet the default. Or that's how I've considered it, anyway.
For the upgrade from the latest image, it is still useful to go with apt update && apt --solver 3.0 full-upgrade After that, it is not needed anymore, since it has become standard meanwhile with apt 3.0.
