    tomas, thanks. this will happen as soon as i know how to upgrade the deb packages... any hints welcome

    i have them on the hard disk. firstly i tried to use the cdrom as a source with apt-cdrom add but that did not work. so now the deb packages are on the file system but i have no clue on how to modify apt.conf to make them accessible via the apt-get mode. remember, the actual machine is offline, so i am switching back and forth between the ls station machine and this email checking machine.

    so please, a website or a couple of lines. the manuals (man) did not do the trick for me... tried dselect as well, but that did not get the desired results.

    thanks,

    micz

    well, if you have the .deb files on the hard drive, just do:

    dpkg -i

    and it will install...

    (apt-get is just a front-end to dpkg)

    Does he need to uninstall the old livesupport first ? Micz use the alpha
    live cd.
