When I run "apt-get update", Debian logs on to the updates ftp site (such as ftp.debian.org) and downloads an entirely new list of packages which overrides the older list. Thus if I install Debian from CDs and update, I will no longer be able to use them. Debian will insist on installing any previously not installed programs from the site, rather than the discs. Can I somehow tell apt-get only to update my X Windows System to version 4.2 (and to download any required dependency library updates) without making me dependent on the website forever?
