Thanks for this: this is a quick way to set up a package repository.
Much appreciated.
For the original poster [All commands you type indented by one tab
stop for the sake of readability here - you don't need the tab].
As root,
mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
Type
apt-cdrom add
and insert the cds in order.
apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
should work, though you may need to install glibc and a more up to date
kernel image first. Your Mileage May Vary.
Now change to /etc/apt/
cd /etc/apt
Look at your original sources.list - now sources.list.bak.
Copy it back to /etc/sources.list and change any references to stable
to sarge. The only exception will be the security listing at the moment.
cp /etc/apt/sources.list.bak /etc/apt/sources.list
[vi/emacs/nedit as you choose] /etc/apt/sources.list
Hope This Helps,
Andy
