Frozen, I think. BTW I always use unstable for this purpose. > Also i am going to setup a mirror on my machine but i really don't > want to mirror the whole site.

And hamm, if you want the Latest, Gratest and Unstabliest versions of all. Contrib and non-free will also be good to mirror (they are bo's). Hamm includes its own contrib and non-free; mirror hamm/hamm if you don't want them. BTW that's what I'm doing right now, a mirror for three people (two of which are Debian maintainers). I'm mirroring bo, hamm, contrib, non-free, dists, doc and indices for 2 days already, and only 21% is finished ;) > Dpkg does (should) make a backup copy of the original conf file > before it replaces it correct?

It's a feature of dpkg, so it always makes a backup copy. > > For people running an old Debian system (1.1) - you are supposed to do > > the following before using dselect to upgrade: > > > > dpkg --clear-avail > > dpkg -i ldso_*.deb > > dpkg -i libc5_*.deb > > dpkg -i dpkg_*.deb dpkg-ftp_*.deb > > dpkg --purge --force-depends texbin > > So this needs to be done before i start the upgrade (via dselect)? > Will this be so even when it is released this week sometime? Yes, and yes. But it's only for the oldies who haven't upgraded their system for many many months. > I'm running 1.2 now and find it great :) I know 1.3 will be > good aswell. I'd also like to thanx all the developers, maintainers, and > everyone else for this great OS!!!! Thank you.
