Re: Xwindows in Sparc Station 5?
Potato is newer.
if you want to get potato.
edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
so that it contains only the lines
deb http://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free
Comment out any other deb lines.
then as, root,
apt-get update
apt-get install apt debconf
apt-get dist-upgrade
