You have only got cdrom sources in there, you need to get packages from the
internet to upgrade to sarge. Be warned, upgrading to sarge will involve a lot
of downloading, I hope you have a fast internet connection.
Comment out everything in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, with a # at the
start of each line, then add:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free
I've done this for you in the attached file, you can just save the attachment
as /etc/apt/sources.list
then type:
apt-get update
this will download the lists of packages for sarge.
after that's finished, type:
apt-get dist-upgrade
this will tell you what it's going to do to upgrade, and how much it will
download, and ask permission, if you say yes, it will upgrade your system.
One day, debian will be user-friendly,
but think of all the fun we'll miss out on :/
