Two ways that I can think of: - find or build a package designed for woody (check http://www.backports.org/ and http://www.apt-get.org/) - set up sources.list with stable, testing and unstable sources. Set up apt to prefer the stable distribution but selectively install what you want from testing or unstable (apt-get -t testing install mysql-server) I prefer the first solution if it's available (and it is for mysql-server). -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux
