Just change "stable" or "potato" to "woody" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, run "apt-get update", then "apt-get dist-upgrade". You might want to comment out the line for security.debian.org first; security patches are only put on that server for stable. (Incidentally, the nature of testing means that you shouldn't run it on an exposed machine (or at least, say, your web server -- security fixes are treated no differently than any other package update in testing. Which means that it can be up to a week before they get into testing.) > Any idea how soon woody will be released? - i know "when its ready". The freeze is already underway -- AFAIK, the only things frozen are policy and the base system. It could have progressed further, though. In any case, /etc/issue proclaims my woody system to be "Debian GNU/Linux 3.0" already. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ Developer/SysAdmin for hire!
