  • update SystemDowngrade wiki page

    From Alexey Kuznetsov@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 19 20:50:01 2022
    Hello!

    I want to suggest a change to the wiki page mentioned above.
    Since downgrading is a complicated process I suggest installing a new
    debian version into a separate chroot using debootstrap. Then hot swapping
    the folder with currently running debian. It is just one command line which allows you to replace currently working debian with freshly installed. I
    tested it many times with different debian versions and ubuntu and
    downgrading / upgrading folders- everything worked fine!

    Here is an example:

    # swapos /bullseye
    # reboot

    Commands above swap all folders from /* into /bullseye and all content from /bullseye/* to /.

    You can even have /boot separate partition. It will skip the content of the folder and keep working.

    You can find source code for booth commands avobe here:

    it seems to fit with the page just fine.
