Hi, ALL,
As said I downloaded and successfully installed the full blown Debian
latest stable.

I then edit the repository file to point it to the Sid.

Then I successfully fetched the new (Sid) repository.

However, trying to run an update I hit a problem.

The command fetched the packages successfully, but the next step: is
stuck at 37%.

I will check tonight if it will continue.

Thank you.
