Re: moving from woody to sarge

okay, I'm going to take the plunge and forget about using ''woody'' &

You don't have to reinstall - you can just,
- replace 'woody' or 'stable' with 'sarge' in /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update
- apt-get upgrade
- apt-get dist-upgrade

That should give you a functional debian/sarge :)
If you have sarge CDs, just do
- apt-cdrom add
for all of them, and then
- apt-get upgrade
- apt-get dist-upgrade


HTH,
