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?
