yes, if you have a fast net connection, you can set up sources for a net mirror (most have a testing archive). /sbin/base-config may be helpful. I wonder, though, if they are really unstable CDs. I wouldn't think many people would want them. You could check the /.disk/info file on the CD, I think that is supposed to say which distribution is represented. woody=stable sarge=testing sid=unstable -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance)
