Although this query may already have been answered several times in recent postings, as a new arrival to Debian, I venture to check that I have understood the docs correctly before plunging into an upgrade via "apt-cdrom".I have used this routine successfully to add the "Debian 3.0R2" upgrade disk to my successfully-installed "Debian 3.0R1"; but I blench at an upgrade that involves tampering with the installed kernel.Kernel-upgrades are outside my present experience.
You want to go from Woody to Sarge and you have the 14 Sarge CD's?Why the kernel-upgrade? The packages will be dist-upgraded. Not necessarily the kernel.
Put the 14 or some such CD's in the sources.list with apt-cdrom Make sure you backed up what you are doing this to. apt-get dist-upgrade Should do it. H.
All suggestions (or pointers to documentation) will be gratefully received.Felix Karpfen
