Newbie need help on upgrading/installing "current weekly snapshot CDs"
Hi all,
I am a pure newbie on Linux/Debian coming from Windows world!
I downloaded just 3 of the 21 CDs from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-cd/ website,
booted the 1st CD and install testing Debian successfully.
The main point is that I found no way to install my other 2 CDs. By
the way, I cannot find: (1) Software Sources settings (2) Synaptic
Package Manager to update my system.
Another method I tried:
open a terminal, and typed:
(1) su -
(2) apt-get update

Is there any way to edit a config file (something like that) by
subsequent snapshot CDs and web links/ download sites as that of
Xubuntu/Ubuntu's Software Sources program???
Please HELP
