You should be able to drop each of the Woody CDs into your CD-ROM drive in turn and run 'apt-cdrom add'. Having done that, you should be able to do 'apt-get dist-upgrade', or do the upgrade within a package tool like dselect or aptitude. You don't need to reinstall at all. > If there's an upgrade method, will it goof up things > like my lan connections, or remote printer access, > mutt, etc? It shouldn't; in general, packages try to be good about preserving user settings on upgrade. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
