sources.list and apt-get question
After reading Karsten Self's comments on galeon I thought I would give it a
try since Netscape 4.75 is old and *not* impressive.
Downloaded galeon-0.12.tar.gz and unzipped and untarred it. When I ran
"configure" it came up with an error saying that I had glib 1.2.7 and needed
glib 1.2.8.
So I changed my sources.list to point to testing instead of stable; did
"apt-get" upgrade and watched a whole lot of updating; and finally did
"apt-get install libglib1.2". It wanted to change a raft of stuff!
I got nervous at this point and decided to chew on things a bit since I
don't know the ramifications of all these changes in what is basically
potato r3. So I changed sources.list to point back to stable and did an
"apt-get update".
Here are the questions
(1) Since my sources.list points back to stable and I've done an -apt-get
update", I assume that I am good to go again. That is to say, my cache is
now cool with stable.
(2) However, when I do get adventurous, I assume I change "stable" to
"testing" in sources.list and then do "apt-get update" and "apt-get
dist-upgrade" and some time later I am running Woody. Have I missed a step
here?
Thanks,
