The faq:
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#update-cd
In the sub-topic: What are the "update"** CDs?
Says:
"...You only need to download either the update CD or the normal CDs,
not both!"
Version: (I'm not sure of version number - but the English data was
displayed 21-November-2009)
The 'not both' statement is misleading.
You do need both - the first for the 'base' and the second for the update.
The update does not contain the contents of the original.
And in the case of CD#1, the update won't boot.
See problem report #555845.
Suggestion:
1) Delete the statement:"You only need to download either the update
CD or the normal CDs, not both!"
2) Add a statementconcerning when the Update CD/DVD should be loaded, e.g.
During the install process, the update CD/DVD can be loaded after
the regular cd.
After the system is booted, the updated cd can be added with:
# apt-cdrom add
Perhaps include a reference to
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto (Adding a CD-ROM to the
sources.lst file)
Thanks,
Jay
