You could either use the CD as the apt-repository or get the packages straight from the net. To use the CD, issue apt-cdrom add, then apt-get dist-upgrade. To use repositories from the net, just add the appropriate lines to /etc/apt/sources.list for the debian mirror you want to connect to, eg. deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free then apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade HTH -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
