Since you are a newbie, you must not upgrade to unstable. You are on

Interesting. I bought the 8CD set from cheapbytes and assumed it was
for stable debian ppc 3r1. etc/apt/sources.list is showing the cdroms as
"unstable".
How do I switch to testing? Just comment out the cdroms and change the
'stable' to 'testing' for the other lines in sources.list?
yes, if you have a fast net connection, you can set up sources for a
net mirror (most have a testing archive). /sbin/base-config may be
helpful.
I wonder, though, if they are really unstable CDs. I wouldn't think
many people would want them. You could check the /.disk/info file on
the CD, I think that is supposed to say which distribution is
represented.
woody=stable
sarge=testing
sid=unstable
