Hi Matthew:
granted it won't get you apt-get, but I
would think it should still upgrade his
dist. It would then be easy enough to
use dselect to find and install apt-get.
However the whole thing is moot as he
decided to go with a new install. Dean

If you don't have apt-get then
I'd use dselect which will ask
which source to download from
so you can enter your new urls
which will change /etc/apt/source.list
automatically. If I remember correctly
dselect will automatically select all
packages reflected in your new source
list and upgrade. hth

I'm not sure that Debian 2.0 has apt-get.
Read
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
Section 3.3 deals with upgrading from Debian 2.0.
To be honest though, I'd wipe the 2.
Sorry that should have been

Hi Peter:
I'd try removing them. try:
apt-get remove (package)
back up anything you need to save, then
change /etc/source.list to an url that
has potato ( e.g. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable)
then do a:
apt-get update
then:
apt-get dist-upgrade
once it finishes try:
apt-get -i (package)
Another related question:
Browsing the archives a bit, I find references to "apt 0.3.19", which purports
to be
an "Advanced front-end for dpkg". I assume this to be an improvement to the
somewhat
unfriendly "dselect" that came with my 2.0 installation.
3) Can I install "apt 0.3.19" on my 2.0 in
It's that time again! My wife is out of town for a few days, so I can
sit down and make my annual attempt to install Debian Linux.
I've been trying since 1997 to get Debian installed, so far without ever
getting it into such a state that I can actually use it. My latest
attempt resulted in a parti
