yes.
1. make sure you either have the cds or the relevent lines for ftp/http in
your sources.list in /etc/apt/
(goes for cd-access as well).
2. do apt-get update
3. do apt-get dist-upgrade -u
The -u option shows you what apt exactly is going to do in
upgrades/installs/removals/holdbacks
please chekc this output carefully to see it's not going to do something
whcih you will regret aftwards ;)
4. if you do ftp/hfttp acces, don't forget the propsed-updates line in
addition to the others as well
this will make sure you get all latest security-fixes installed too
Here's a sample ftp-access soucres.lsit form my system:
#debian UK mirror
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security potato/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
#Sunsite Debian mirror
deb ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/ftp.debian.org/pub/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/ftp.debian.org/pub/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
#debian NL mirror
deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security potato/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
Note that the suntie.uk lines miss the propsed-upgrade line.
Only noticed it was missing just now ;)
