This what I have gone through so far, First tried to apt-get dist-update with the following in /ect/apt/sources.list,
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/upgrade-i386/apt 0.3.19 i386.deb also tried, ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian_dists_potato_main_upgrade-i386_apt_0.3.19_i386.deb Result: "E: Malformed line 9...." Per instruction at the Debian.org, Took a look at the /var/state/apt/lists/partial/ Found the following, ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_dists_potato_binary-i386_Packages Once again, "E: Malformed line 9............" What seems to me is wrong is the second _dists_ in the /var/state/apt/lists/partial/ Tried to fire up the editor to edit that out, couldn't bring up and I am at /root.... What am I not seeing and how to get this box to upgrade to potato/kernel 2.2.17 ? [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
