In Control Center, click on the tab that says"System". Then click on"Edit Config Files"

It will prompt you for your root password, and then bring up Geany (text editor).

Click on"sources.list" to display that file. Comment out the Testing repos (just put # at the beginning of the line) and open the stable repos (delete the # from the beginning of those lines). Save and that's it.

Before installing new programs, then in a root terminal type:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

I hope this helps.

I believe it is posted several times on the forum, anyway

Dave,

just out of curiosity, why dist-upgrade? I typically run dist update/dist upgrade. Should I be running dist-upgrade regularly also?

thanks.

Sorry plvera I cannot give a strait answer to this, I am not entirely sure on how all of it works. I use to always do apt-get update then apt-get upgrade till I was chatting with (I believe) roky and anti. Anyways we were talking about sources.list and upgrading, they both said that they used apt-get dist-upgrade. I then installed antiX on 2 different machines and updated them at the same time, one with apt-get upgrade and one apt-get dist-upgrade ( this was so I would get an accurate difference comparison ). The dist-upgrade one required more packages to be updated, as well as some more configuring. In the end though it worked with fewer / no problems, so that is what I have been using since. I would like to know a quick list of the options and the benefits of each option, will need to look later if such a thing exists

EDIT sorry for the double post as well, I must have neglected a seccond page on the topic __{{emoticon}}__
