Right. You can use the ISO image at http://backup.parisc-linux.org/debian-cd/debian-8.0/alpha/ to initially install Debian 8. After successful installation, you need to add the debian-ports repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, so that you will receive regularly new updates. Add those entries to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/ unstable main deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/ unreleased main Helge > Regards, > James > >> On 27 Feb 2016, at 15:39, Alberto Di Fazio <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hello folks of the Debian community, >> I am a retired old physicist doing numerical models in astrophysics and >> dynamics of complex systems.
