The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I update my system to the latest development version every 2 or 3
days.  The process basically involves running dselect.  It contacts
the ftp site, presents me a list of new and updated packages. I select
the new packages I want, place the packages that I don't want to
update on hold, and then let it ftp and install all of the
packages.. It's very painless...

It should be pretty much the same story with a CD (you point dselect
at the CD, and follow the same steps).
