Suggestions needed to upgrade Debian 7.8 to Debian 8.5 (Not 8.6)
Hello,
I need to upgrade my Debian system 7.8 to 8.5 but by default via apt-get It moves to 8.6 version(latest stable version). I'm new to Debian so didn't figure out the solution.
I've checked few suggestions over internet like editing apt source list file using snapshot archive.
Please suggest the steps that I should follow to achieve it.
Thank You!
Regards,
