My thanks to John Lewis for his most helpful answer. I copied it to my
supplier of the DVD's, and he was most grateful. He has copied the deb 5.0.7
upgrade DVD, and is forwarding me a copy, too.
Now starts the fun of doing the installation - I think the cowards way is
favorite, a complete install. Then the update!!!
Unless, that is, the 5.0.7 disk (labled as DVD 1) is used instead of the first
one of the set ???
Will report how I get on.
Bye the way, my 'rig' is akin to what ancient Electronics Engineers christened
the Cossor Double-beam oscilloscope - The Cossor Double Hernia! Yes, it is a
real Door-stop-delux, from those unenlightened days when traders made
donations of equipment to various groups and organisations.
I understand that the EU has since enlightened traders to the errors of thier
ways, and now redundant equipment is 'correctly' disposed!
Spec? 800Mhz Athlon (can't seem to clock it faster); 1.5 Gigs RAM; 2 HD's -
a):76.4 Gigs (16 to Mepis 6.3, and 60.1 to Debian); b):28 Gigs to Mepis 8.5;
HP Photosmart C4680 printer/scanner. B/band (LOL) capable of 6 Mb/s actual 2
Mb/s, and a download limit of 6 Gigs/month during 08:00 - 24:00 (Free 00:01 -
07:59.) But I'm far too old now for all-night download sessions!
Again, Thanks
Alan
