Hi Everyone:
Slink loads and finds the nic. I want to upgrade the version and get a

book I looked at online expressly said the opposite
about dselect and apt-get. The book is in German "Debian GNU/Linux
Anwenderhandbuch" by
Frank Ronneburg. It's online, and it applies to slink and potato.
It sounds like good advice to upgrade to potato first and then take the
next step.
Thanks again,
Marcus
It sounds to me like you should consider upgrading to the testing
distribution. You could certianly upgrade a potato or even slink system
to all these things peicemeil, but these are such major components with
such far-reaching dependnacies that you would end up with a system
composed mostly of packages from testing anyway.

Hi,
There is packages for slink, but the package list refer the download point to
"main".
I think the only way to make our apt-get works is to mirror the whole copy of
the slink. :(
Will this keep on in every release, old users could not benefit from Debian

some extras using the dselect front-end to apt-get via ftp. This
worked fine, but a little too slowly for my liking over a 33k modem,
so I picked up a CD set.
Vaguely remembered reading something about how to
Slink doesn't support installing the base system via http. (but
once base is installed you can use apt-get/dselect to install
