"If you want to upgrade using CD-ROMs, or if you are upgrading from a Debian GNU/Linux release 2.0 or earlier, you need the versions of apt and dpkg available in the http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato//main/upgrade-i386/ directory at your Debian mirror, or the upgrade/ directory on the first CD-ROM from your Debian 2.2 CD set. Download and install these files, using (in this exact order): dpkg -i dpkg_1.6.13_i386.deb dpkg -i apt_0.3.19_i386.deb " I think we should provide the IPs rather than have people search. The whole idea of the release notes is to make life easier on people. Thanks, -- Brock Rozen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
