Using apt-cdrom is enough as far as I know; it will add the apt source entry and create the list of what packages are on the CD so apt knows what is there. Whether you upgrade (using "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade") using the newly available packages is up to you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You can find info for downloading from www.debian.org, you can ftp it from ftp.debian.org or one of its mirrors, and if you want it on CD, check out www.lsl.com who has the official Debian 2-CD set for $4.95. | Debian GNU/ __ o Regards, |/ / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ .| / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / Randy| // /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | ...because lockups are for convicts... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

This is workable if you have a decent internet connection. Otherwise, it would be better to buy a CD.

It's different than Slackware and Redhat of course, but it is a distribution. The basic difference IMO, is that Debian has a better package installation/maintainance system. I'm sure there are lots of other differences, but that's the biggest one that comes to mind. Tim Linux 2.0.6 i486 Because reboots are for upgrades!
