I have some machines that only connect with dial-up accounts, so I'd
like to update them with a current DVD. I followed the jigdo directions
on the Debian site and ended up with two DVD iso files that I made disks
with.
debian-31r1-i386-binary-1.iso
debian-31r1-i386-binary-2.iso
I used "apt-cdrom add" which seemingly went as expected. The following
lines were added to the sources.list file:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r1 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2
(20051218)] unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r1 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1
(20051218)] unstable contrib main
This brings up my first question. Why are these entries listed as
unstable instead of stable? Second question... How do I then use these
disks to update the machine? Running "aptitude update; aptitude
upgrade" doesn't do anything with either disk installed, mounted or not.
