[Herefordshire] Via Velocity NIC

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi all,

Gave up with the nic and ended up putting in an old trusty Realtek which
got detected straight away.  I have built myself the relevant OS running
2.4 (I couldn't go above this as I run a screen reader called Speakup
which has issues on 2.6 currently).  Now need to get the rest of the
packages.  I do have Sarge CDs that I got from Box, but am now trying to
get the CDs working.  One thing that worries me a bit is that currently
using Sarge distro, however, when using bits of apt-get it mentions the
testing release?  If you do apt-get dist-upgrade would this upgrade to
the testing release or just the newer version of Sarge (though this is
not feasible on my connection).

Thanks.
Andrew.
