When you upgrade to woody you need to take some care. First of all, upgrade your souces-list in /etc/apt: if you installed by CD, changing to http souces. After that, BEFORE you try an upgrade, atualize libc6 using dpkg -i libc6 (after the download of the package, of course). Take care with silo upgrade. I made more than 10 debian-sparc installation using this method I always it worked fine; and I installed in Ultra's and SparcStation"s. To avoid this method, I think you should download the cd images of debin woody, and install it directly. Well, I hope I could help you in some things. If you want, write me more specific question and I'll try to answer. Regards, Antonio
