Re: Easy way to install potato?

| At which point in the installation process is it reached?
Okay, from the CD go through the install process, select some tasks
or packages, etc. Then finish up to the point were it tells you it's
going to reboot. Fine, do that. Next, after boot up, when you get to
the part using dselect to install packages, change the Access to
point at "ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free".
Then, run the Update packages, to get new lists of the potato
packages. You'll probably see some packages are no longer available,
etc. You'll have to play with the select process for awhile to
eliminate all of the dependency issues (if any). Then run "Install"
and go to bed. You'll probably have to run the "Install" a few times
before you get everything right.
After putting of upgrading my potato for the last few weeks do to
Perl, libc6 probs, I upgraded yesterday, and all went well (except
an errant kde package).
