I'm not sure that Debian 2.0 has apt-get. Read http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html Section 3.3 deals with upgrading from Debian 2.0. To be honest though, I'd wipe the 2.0 installation and start over. If the hardware hasn't been changed since 1997, its bound to be better supported by now. > Peter Hugosson-Miller wrote: > > I really don't want to install from scratch, as I only have five > > days available for this attempt, and it took two weeks to get the GUI > > part working last time.

Your hardware (what is it?) is more likely to be supported now, so maybe you won't need the 5 days. 2.2 is a decent step up from 2.0, though. It's likely that all of your packages would get upgraded. You might spend 5 days just downloading Matthew
