Hi Alan
If you've got a broadband connection, it is really simple. Change
your
/etc/apt/sources.list to:
http://.......etc/debian stable main (stable is woody and it means
that
when sarge becomes stable you will upgrade seamlessly)
There is also a command to upgrade your sources list automatically but
I can't recall it offhand - you should also include the source for
security patches.
And then use dselect as described in Note 3.4 within:
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/release-notes/ch-
upgrading.en.html
I almost always use dselect to add and remove packages - it's just so
easy ;-) No floppies, no CD's just instant gratification ;-)
Looks like I'll be registering another MAC with my ISP. Isn't it
amazing how it takes someone else to state the flaming obvious ;-))
Obviously my cable connection is b****er all use if teal cannot
connect to the network to use it. BUT I can unplug the cable and feed
it straight into teal to perform the upgrade and then have a go at
re-establishing the network stuff once Woody is on board:-))
