Edit you /etc/apt/sources.conf so it reads something like: # Use for a local mirror - remove the ftp1 http lines for the bits # your mirror contains. # deb file:/your/mirror/here/debian stable main contrib non-free # See sources.list(5) for more information, especial # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free (Note: use whatever mirror works best for you) Then do: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade And sit back and wait. I did it that way with this box and am in the process of doing it with another box. It might take a while, but it does work. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
