--- Anyway running such commands felt strange because it is not mentioned in documentation and quite impossible to guess. This all means the "DebianTesting" web page is wrong. The task is not as easy as it claims. It should be fixed. Anyway it is not a big problem for me. I can continue with the default sources.list. Debian still looks like the best choice for old computer + CD install. I tried SparkyLinux which is advertised for old computers. They have a minimalGUI image but its GUI installer requires 1GB memory! The CLI "advanced installer" is not advanced at all and left me with a partly broken system. I just tried Fedora. Even their "light" LXQT spin hogs memory and feels sticky. :( Arch, Manjaro and many others have dropped support for 32-bit. Ubuntu is planning to do so ... Puppy Linux and such are too minimal, designed for truly limited resources. The computer I will update has plenty of resources: An AMD CPU of almost 2 GHz and half a gigabyte of memory. That is 536870912 bytes, for God's sake! It is not an obsolete machine. BTW, the reply address of this mailing list is set wrong. In some other lists I can click Reply and it goes to the list. Here it would go to the person who sent the last message. I have to edit the recipient field. Regards, Juha Manninen
