Has anyone got a copy of debian sarge (testing) on cdrom I could borrow and copy? latest snapshot is best, but recent is good. Just new to linux, and have installed woody r2. just want to upgrade and play. took my 9 weeks of downloading on my poor 56k to get the isos and 14 more discs is pushing my enthusiasm :)
You don't need 14 discs. In fact, if you've already got a debian woody install, you can just add some 'sarge' source lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and you can update online. It'll still be about 500 MB to download, but definitely not 8GB or so. /etc/apt/sources.lists deb http://debian.ihug.co.nz/debian sarge main non-free contrib deb http://debian.ihug.co.nz/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main non-free contrib deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian sarge main non-free contrib deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main non-free contrib Then, as root, run apt-get update and when this is finished, run apt-get dist-upgrade -u I beleive there is a discussion about this (debian, apt, etc) on the wlug website.
