Hi Stephen,
That would have been a good thing to try. I did manage to almost fix
everything by doing the rest of the dist-upgrade online, rather than by
the discs. So, things are working close to normal now.
One issue I still have is with updates. Given that I have dial-up, I
prefer to rely on the Debian discs rather than the online repositories;
so, my sources.list is made up of mostly the discs, with
security, nonfree and multimedia repositories. However, now whenever I
run "apt-get update", the machine demands to rescan all eight dvds:
Media change: please insert the disc
labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-8
20110205-17:27' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
It never used to do this with Lenny. It's just annoying to have to
pull out all eight dvds once again each time I wish to update the
system (it's not as if the dvds will be any different at a later time,
so I'm not sure what the rationale is for the rescans).
Does anyone know how to fix this?
