Hi All,
I am looking for a complete CD/DVD set to install a Debian Sarge on a PC
currently without Linux.
Is a Sarge CD/DVD sufficient, or does this only permit to upgrade a
Woody installation?
Has anybody got these CDs/DVD so that I could copy them?
Regards,

Such images would be unofficial. If you check [1], you'll
find links for some.

No, they should be fine for a complete installation.

them?
Haven't got any myself.
If the target PC has a decent internet connection (I see
you're using DSL, that would be fine), I'd recommend to
simply get yourself a net-install CD (with PPPoE for the
DSL stuff if you aren't using a DSL router), boot from that
one and install via network.
You only need to download what you actually want, it's
more current and a nice way of doing things anyway.

True. But I want to test the installation on a first PC, then do a final
installation on a second. So the aim is also to keep the downloaded
files, in order not to download them twice.
Will that be possible?

Great, just what I was looking for! Does anybody know where I can find
this magazine for sure, I've never bought it (around Luxembourg Gare
would be great) ?

Look at packages.debian.org [1] and you will see that sarge only
contains KDE 3.1.2 as of the moment.
And the forever coming back topic:
***
A. It should be obvious.
Q. How is it hard?
A. Because it makes it hard to follow conversations.
Q. Why is top-posting bad?
***
Come on, it is not that difficult to stick to _some_ basic rules. I am
certainly not the only one having difficulties with all those mails
coming without proper quoting and other inconvenients. Just read [2] and
lets all STW :)
And another note, if one really has to use the evil OE, why not kill
some misc. lines and quote correctly? Still refering to [2] because of this:

Yes, I am, but I don't use KDE, I'm more of a GNOME-man.
However, I would believe this
http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=meta-kde more than
DistroWatch. It says that KDE is still 3.1 in Sarge, but digging a
little further, I could find that package "kdelibs" was already at
3.2.2, maybe they took that number? It is wrong, of course.
Hope it helps.
