Problems - Upgrade to Sid from CDs
I have Debian Woody installed (with X windows & Desktop env selected thru tasksel).
Now, I\'ve got an 8 CD set for Sid (fsn.hu).
Removed all other entries from sources.list & did an apt-cdrom add for these 8 CDs.
Now when a try apt-get dist-upgrade, it says no packages to be upgraded.
when I point sources.list to ftp.us.debian.org unstable, it comes up with a 180 odd Megs download list !
While I can understand that the CDs might be slightly dated, still, why isnt apt trying to upgrade from to Sid from the CDs.
Further, though the Sid set is bootable, when I try & install Sid from those CDs, it gets stuck while installing the base system (looking for basedebs.tar !). What can I do to get Sid installed from the Sid 8 CD set ?
Pl help me. Thanks in advance.
