You are either very enthusiastic or very impatient.

But, if you mean the latter, how does one > do that? He does. In dselect, highlight the package in question, hit the = key. If you hit [v] to toggle verbose display on, in the column "marked for" you should see "hold". You know, I dont wish to sound condescending or in any way dampen your enthusiasm for debian ( which is obvious and admirable ), but if you don't understand the basics of package management what are you doing running sid ? What are you going to do when one day you turn your box on and lo and behold you can't even login ? Make some time to learn this stuff *before* you get burned. Hope you take that in the friendly spirit it was given :-) Chris thanks for the warning ...and the packages :-) Might I suggest that you reiterate this warning in a seperate post with a suitably loud subject line ? Thanks Simon Hepburn
