Hi
you can download the DVD iso (or you can ask to do it
to friends with DSL or cable connection) and upgrade
some packages with apt-get upgrade - pick attention
to packages that apt would remove.
Before you need add the cd/dvd to sources.list with
apt-cdrom.

bye bye

Etch weekly build

2006-06-29 Thread David Haworth
Hi,

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/

I just noticed that the weekly build of etch for amd64 is now
3 DVDs. Does this mean that the etch DVDs are now usable?

The 3rd ISO is a little smaller than the equivalent i386 ISO.

Dave

Thanks for the reply.

I currently have a working sarge, but I'm on dial-up so
aptitude dist-upgrade isn't practical.

The system is also in daily use, so I don't want to attempt an upgrade
and then have to spend ages picking up the pieces if it fails. What
I normally do is install the upgrade to another partition and dual-
boot. When I'm happy with the new version (or distro) I configure
it to mount the other partitions (/home etc) and make it the default
boot.

The sarge that I have installed is a bit of a hack too. The default
sarge install kernel didn't recognise my SATA controller, so I had
to boot another kernel before installing, which meant that the
modules didn't load properly and I had to do some configuration
by hand later. So I really don't want to try to upgrade it.

Maybe I'll give it a go. I'll let you know the results if I do.

Dave

There are still things in etch that are not installable. 

For instance kde is missing kdewebdev and kdesdk, and gnome is
missing rhythmbox, totem, sound-juicer, gnome-media.

Those are all helps are missing because some other arches have
problems building them.
