Currently, neither of those files exist on my system. If the box has a connection to the internet all you need to do is the following: 1) Open as root the file /etc/apt/sources.list with your favorite editor and uncomment or add if missing the folowing lines. deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org sarge/updates main contrib non-free WATCH for the sarge word instead of woody or stable, this tells apt-get which is the release you want. Comment any other line in the file. 2) As root run apt-get update. 3) Again as root run apt-get dist-upgrade, sit back have a smoke or whatever you fancy, and watch your old reliable Woody turn into a lean mean Sarge ;-) Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please.
