Re: Newbie need help on upgrading/installing "current weekly snapshot CDs"

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

Does you system have an internet connection? It seems to be looking for package and update archives but not finding them. One of the great things about debian is that once you get your base system up and running, you can get any package you want from the repositories. I generallly use the netinstall CD,
but If I have to install from cds (usually due to a balky net card), I add the archives to my apt sources list and comment out the entrys for the CDs.
