How to upgrade to potato?

[Sang Y. Yum]

All,

Note: if you are using the static versions of apt and dpkg, the
hostname-lookup is broken (which is one reason to use slink's apt when
upgrading over the network). The solution is to simply put the mirrors'
IP address in the "deb" line. (Hint: nslookup some-server)
