Sorry, I keep being confused. Who may have a look through the follwing steps and tell me where I went wrong ?
At the origin I just wanted to upgrade a mathematical package (I need GNU scientific library >=1). This package requires glibc >= 2.2. Since almost all other packages depend on libc, I anticipate that any attempt to upgrade just libc will lead to desaster. I conclude that I have to upgrade my whole DEBIAN installation (presently 2.2r3) to 3.0, even if that is still in "testing" state. To get the CD images, I followed the links in http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/#testing to different mirrors from which I download eight ISO images, named woody-i386-#.raw, with #=1,2,...,8. After heavy struggle with windows (linux only allowed in laboratory, not allowed to connect to the internet), I succeeded in burning CD #1. I succeeded even in burning a copy of CD #1 that is readable on my linux machine. But what a deception: inside this CD, I do not find woody, but potato (2.2r6, with glibc2.1.3-20).
