Netinstall of debian unstable?

f0rmula · 12-03-2004, 06:03 AM

As a netinstall, the debian site only specifies the "stable" version..

http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

Is it safe to install the stable version, and then run an apt-upgrade to unstable? I've had loads of problems upgrading from testing to unstable before and i'm a bit worried..

Or will the installer just ask me which distribution I want?

Thankyou.. But I was just wondering if anyone knew if the netinstall will ask me what distibution I want (stable/testing/unstable), and if not if it is safe to do an "upgrade" through APT, as i've had problems before..

Testing/unstable install will give you a choice of stable-testing-unstable
Woody install won't
Dunno about apt-get dist-upgrade, never tried it.

Ahh. thanks..

So only stable distros are termed with names then? there is only woody (which is the current stable release), and then testing and unstable...

that makes sense..

cheers
