Thought I would try out Debian.
I have the 2.2r5 cd's. I installed a basic system without X as I wanted to install ver4.
Once installed I pointed sources.list to woody as I believe it comes with ver4.
This is the syntax:
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib
I do a apt-get update and it reads the sources ok.
I then do apt-get dist-upgrade and it, very quickly reads packages, builds deps & claculates upgrade.
But, it says 0 upgraded :confused:
I have also tried apt-get install x-window-system which I saw in another post but returns with package not found.
On another note. I was going to install it manually. But the binaries available were for glibc 2.2, I only have 2.1, How do you upgrade glibc ? I couldn't find how to do this.
TIA.
