    Upgrading

    Hello Im waiting for new Etch stable but seems like forever so I would like to know if I can install the old one : Sarge and then somehow upgrade to new stable. Is that possible. Thx!

    One more thing, has Etch or Sarge same installation process as Woody? I saw guy installing woody and it wasnt just the command line, it told him his options, what to do etc. Thx

    As long as your repositories are set "stable" you will always have the stable distribution upgrades, provided you have internet connection and regularly update.

    Yes, you can install Sarge now.

    Just use something like that as your /etc/apt/sources.list, and you will get upgraded to Etch automatically.

    Code:
    #Local Mirror

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
#deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
 
#Security

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
 
#Multimedia

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ stable main
#deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ stable main
