Re: Dist-Upgrading

Hi! I have been using linux for a few years now, and I just downloaded and installed the 2 sarge DVDs. I have been using RPM-based linux (SuSE,Fedora,Mandrake) until now, and I want to know how to use apt-get dist-upgrade. I tried it, but it didn't install anything. Do I need to add the etch (what I want to use) stuff to /etc/apt/sources.list? What would I add? Do I leave the sarge stuff for backup? As I said, this is my first experience with debian (I'm pleased so far). Thanks!
