I don't think there are any official cds with security updates on them. You should be able to get revision updates on CD (r1 is the current for woody I think). you could do something like apt-get -s upgrade, to see what packages will be downloaded and download them manually from security.debian.org on another machine, and install them manually (dpkg) though. if the machine is firewalled or protected in some other way you may not need security updates, and you may only need or want to upgrade to the minor revisions. This assumes your systems are on a trusted network. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
