install only the woody minimal system. Then edit your /etc/apt/source.list from
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free to
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
back @ the console write: apt-get update apt-get -u upgrade or apt-get -u dist-upgrade
bye, Martin

Hi all,
I have a 75Mhz laptop with 32mb ram, and i need a way to install debian sarge onto it. the only way i can boot it is via floppy disk.
the laptop successfully ran woody but now i want to upgrade it to sarge but ive hit a snag, the floppy installation disks boot without a problem and the installer set up etc....
but when it comes to partitioning the "overview of current partitions" page states there are no partitions or free space on the laptop, going into the shell and typing "fdisk -l" gives me absolutely nothing, as if the hard disk isn't there, but if i exit the installation and reboot it boots up the original woody distro just fine. im guessing that the installation doesn't detect my hard disk for some reason.
its a standard ide hard disk, so i dont know what could be wrong, any help appreciated.
