Woody idepci bootfloppies install stable over testing base system
Hi,
I am installing Debian Woody from scratch on a Dell Inspiron 2500 (don't
think this matters, anyway) from 1.44 idepci 2.2.20 boot floppies. Everything
before rebooting worked fine. But after tasksel, when it actually apt-gets
packages I got all sorts of weird errors and dependency problems from dpkg.
dselect reported several important packages to be obsolete! After checking
/etc/apt/sources.list I saw why: The automatically generated sources.list pointed to
the stable distribution. I had chosen the mirror ftp.se.debian.org in
Sweden. Maybe this is just a temporary inconsistency while woody is becoming
stable, but it is quite anoying. So if anyone else tries to do a fresh install of
Woody before it is actually stable on the mirrors, EDIT your sources.list
MANUALLY!
Regards,
Felix Kühling
