The sparc stuff is fine. However, I still believe you should have people simply upgrade apt/dpkg implicitly from the CD's before doing a full upgrade, as opposed to having them install static versions. For sparc atleast this needs to be said, mainly because your intructions ask them to do the exect thing that you claim is the reason for installing the latest potato static versions (broken apt multi CD dependency chains). The upgrade should go somewhat like: 1) install the latest version of slink apt/dpkg from CD 1 in upgrade-<arch>. 2) Keeping CD 1 in the driver, run apt-cdrom 3) Run "apt-get install apt dpkg". This will upgrade dpkg/apt and everything that it depends on 4) Run "apt-get -u dist-upgrade" Upgrade done. Not my call, just my opinion. Like I said, for sparc it has to be that way because they are not installing static potato versions. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
