if I have 2003-09-22 release cd, may I upgrade it to current?
without dowload full cd.

just update the sources.list in /etc/apt/ with the source you would like to use for the upgrade.

run:
#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade
and you have a current Debian system

for lists of sources refer to www.debian.org and www.apt-get.org

PS: # indicate terminal run as root/su

me too.

and some other newbee questions:

why are theese iso's not zip'ed rar'ed or ace'ed ?
this would save a lot of traffic ?

snipping the downloads to smaller parts would also make the download more comfortable.

ever compress a compressed file? doesn't work so well

at 700MB "not so well" could mean several hours .

:P

and on the other side there would be a crc to proofe the download was correct.

i have serveral error message that could mean knoppix isn't that good, but the only reason for them is gozilla which messed up the download somewhere i can't identify.
