Hi,
Please pardon my ignorance...
I've done a Knoppix h/d install. It went fine. I'd now like to ugrade the system.
It's easy to upgrade a single Debian release (stable, testing, or unstable): You just "apt-get -u upgrade".
However, I understand that Knoppix uses packages from all three releases. So shouldn't you upgrade each package from its specific release?
If so, is there a way to do that in one operation? Or must you individually upgrade each package (which seems impossible)?
I've read the apt-get HOWTO's "Keeping a mixed system" section. It tells you only how to indicate a "default" release, and how to update specific packages, but that's about it.
Thanks for explaining. I don't want to screw anything up.
