If you are upgrading a hybrid system (i.e. bo/hamm) you will need to
edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list to the locations that you want. I
will attach a copy of mine to assist you. I assume that you are wanting
to stay with a stable slink version so that is what my file is set for.
then simply run "apt-get update" then run "apt-get dist-upgrade" this
will upgrade you distribution. Remember "upgrade" will only alter those
items such as applications and the dependant files that are already
installed on your system. If there is an application that is available
from slink, that you do not already have a bo/hamm version of installed,
apt will not install it. You will need to use dselect to install new
stuff. It is my opinion that the apt program is the single most
important development in Debian in the last 2 years.
Good Luck!
