Sarge installation - want to install testing but always have unstable
Hello,
It's been a week since I'm trying to install the testing distribution, and
everytime I have "unstable" in the sources.list when I add a CD.
I read the installation manual downloaded from
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/installmanual and can't find where my
mistake is.
I tested others CDs sets :
- http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-weekly/i386/ => Debian
GNU/Linux testing "Sarge" - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 CD (15 CDs)
- the same set but 2 monthes after
- the netinst ISO
- http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/cd/rc2/ => downloaded with
jigdo, only the first CD
- Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r2 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-1 CD (7 CDs and 1
update CD)
For example with the first CD downloaded from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/cd/rc2/ when the install is
over, I login, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and find :
Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 CD
(20041104) unstable main contrib
This time I used the standard boot method (just pressed [ENTER] at the boot
prompt), but previously I tried "linux26", "expert", and "expert26"... same
thing.
I usualy select the graphical desktop environement, web server, and database
server tasks with no individual packages selection.
I searched the Debian Reference manual and the apt HOWTO, but didn't find
where I do something wrong. Could someone give me a hint ?
Is there a file where I can check which distribution is installed ?
(/etc/apt/preferences doesn't exist)
Regards.
