Hello list,
When I install, i have to install stable, then use ssh to edit sources.list, and change to testing. then update, and dist-upgrade again.
This is rather slow on my connection. Is there any way to switch to testing at install?
Thanks,

Sounds like Debian. Can't you point the net installer at testing
from the start? I thought there was a way to do that, possibly editing
sources.list from another console before all the downloading starts?
*Seems* doable... Wish I could help more.

If you're booting and installing from floppies, I was thinking that
they could be edited to point at testing before startup. Sounded like
you might, if you're doing a net install. <shrugs> Sorry I mentioned
it. <grins>

you can use like alt+f2 to go to console mode. then change, if it's tset up
the way I think it might be.

The net install is done from cd these days. I doubt floppy images are
still available, though they might be, I haven't checked.
