Hello,
I installed DVDs of Sarge when it was the testing distribution (before
the 3.1 release). Specifically I installed a snapshot dated 30 April
2005. When I installed it the following lines were added to
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386
Binary-3 (20050430)]/ unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386
Binary-2 (20050430)]/ unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386
Binary-1 (20050430)]/ unstable contrib main
I now have broadband and would like to upgrade to the Unstable dist.
What's the best way of doing this? I added the following line to
sources.list:
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian unstable main contrib non-free
and then did the following:
# apt-get update
Is it safe just to issue the following command?
$ apt-get upgrade
With all the transitions that are taking place right now in unstable, I
would be very cautious in upgrading to unstable at this moment. However
if you are brave enough then you can use the above command. It is safe
in the sense that it will not remove any packages from your system and
it will not mess up your configuration files etc.,
bye
