Sir: Leave alone support for obsolete releases of Debian, does this mean a person using these obsolete releases doesn't have access to atleast their respective obsolete repositories for any older packages he might want to install now? If yes, I might conclude that users of older versions are compelled to shift to newer releases. Is that correct ?
An answer to this I think would fully clarify my doubt. thanks, MohanSai On Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:14:21 -0700 Russ Allbery <r...@debian.org> wrote: > Kasuladevi <kasuladevi...@gmail.com> writes: > > > I am new to Debian.
