I am in the process of installing live-helper on etch.
The manual tells me that I need to do the following:
. add the unstable sources to /etc/apt/sources.list
. do an "apt-get update"
. install debootstrap or cdebootstrap from unstable:
# apt-get install -t etch-backports debootstrap
. install live-helper
# apt-get install -t unstable live-helper
I now have this in /etc/apt/sources.list:
-------------------- /etc/apt/sources.list --------------------------
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ unstable/updates main contrib
-------------------- /etc/apt/sources.list --------------------------
As you can see I added the backports repository & I duplicated the first
three lines, changing stable to unstable.
Before I take the plunge, I would like to make sure I got this right ..
and in particular that the "apt-get update" is not going to screw up my
apt system.
Also, what's the difference between debootstrap and cdebootstrap?
I do have current & functional backups.
Thanks!
CJ
