Hi, I've just installed the latest Knoppix 3.2v 6-6-2003 onto my computer.

I would like to update my installation with all the latest patches and make it the same as a debian installation. How would I go about doing that ?

do I perform a apt-get update
then a apt-get upgrade

How do I update the security patches ?

I understand that knoppix is the unstable/testing version of debian, so will doing a apt-get update and upgrade give me the latest daily testing/unstable release of debian with all the latest code ?

And Is there a way to downgrade to debian stable with this installation ?

Thanks,
Freeman

--You have the right idea, just follow Nike's advertising slogan and "JUST DO IT!"

--But for Godsake, *don't* do a dist-upgrade, that tends to break things.
