Ken, Thank you for responding...
Currently I am using Suse 7.3 for the powerppc and would like to try to debians ppc version. My Suse has been running beautifuly since last summer and I am tired of the rpm based.. This is why I am trying debian... Yes i ran apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. It went through the ftp sites and found things and then just ended.. I got the prompt back and nothing was installed.. I will changed the /etc/apt/sources.list to woody and let you know. -Adam On Sat, 2002-06-22 at 16:44, K Clark wrote: > On Sat, Jun 22, 2002 at 04:46:38PM -0400, Adam wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I am new to debian and I installed the stable version on another box and > > found out that every things is very out dated.
