Sorry for having used such a rude tone. It is everything perfect if the stable release gets upgraded in a certain time. We were hacked here recently, on an old suse-linux-box through a pop3server. so I am pretty paranoid at the moment. I remember a discussion here long ago, when cdrom vendors were against changing the stable tree, only because they would end up in selling cds which would have been slightly out of date (if I understood the problem correctly). I remember a bo-updates directory lying around for a long time, without a Packages.gz file, so installations could only be made package by package with dpkg. I have [dists/hamm/main dists/hamm/contrib dists/hamm/non-free] in my selection in dselect. is there a directory to mention to have the security updates quicker than a week, without going slink/unstable? Thanks for your replies. -- Lukas Eppler (godot)
