Hi, I would like to upgrade to the latest linux kernel version 2.2.12. Right now I am running slink 2.1. I was told I needed to upgrade to potato to make the best use with the least amount of problems with the best compatability.
Here is what I have in my /etc/apt/sources.list file deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato non-US Next I did an apt-get update and the non-us stuff was not found. I've read the 'info sources.list' page and it looks right to me. The potato main, contrib and non-free stuff went ok. I'm not sure of the best safest way to complete the upgrade from slink to potato. I tried an apt-get upgrade and I seen that there was a bunch of things that were going to be held back. Not sure why, but I see there is a flag I can use --ignore-holds that will get around this and upgrade everything. What are the differences between upgrade, dselect-upgrade and dist-upgrade Thanks for helping a newbie out.
