Those are indeed the steps to take.
When I do this however I get an error message that says:
"E: Unable to locate any package files. Perhaps this is not an APT enabled disc". The CD-Rom seems to be accessed while this happens so I think my hardware is functioning as it should.
One of three possible problems - 1) The ISO download was corrupt - Check the md5sum of the download with `md5sum bdi-4.50.iso` It should be: 46264f5125a81ed34a2a6260ad136067 2) The burner corrupted the data - Boot from the CD, and at the very first boot screen, type in "linux mediacheck" - This will run a test and report back with a pass or fail. 3) You burnt the CD as one large file rather than as an ISO. Quite a common error if you used a Windows box. Should point out that the updated packages are all available from Debian or our repository at bdi4emc.ourproject/debian - Synaptic has a filter to show which installed packages are upgradeable..
