I am running Debian Linux 3.1 I would upgrade to Debian 4 (Etch) via Internet by doing these steps: 1.) apt-get clean 2.) replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with this: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free 3.) apt-get update 4.) apt-get upgrade 5.) reboot (required because kernel gets replaced) 6.) apt-get dist-upgrade 7.) reboot (optional) Now your system is up-to-date. TIP: You should have a second terminal open and save a copy of your important config files (the upgrader will tell you which user-modified cfg files should be upgraded). But before doing the above steps consult the official release notes, for example here: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html (If you want, you can even continue upgrading to Debian 5 (lenny) by replacing etch with lenny above and repeating the steps... But Debian 5 is not yet released, it is in testing state.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No. There is no sarge repository on these servers either. The OP will have to use http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive. ftp://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/README confirms this. Yes, you are right. I've missed the fact that he are using sarge. -- Eugene V.
