In the source package name box, I enter: linux-2.6 Looking at 3.2.18-1, I get links to binary packages. If I trust my DNS, the snapshot.debian.org mirror administrators, and any HTTP proxies and routers that might be between me and there, I can download the binary package from here and install it with gdebi. If I am less trusting, I note the date the packages were seen for reference: 2012-05-22 04:13:05 Now I add an entry for the next day to my sources.list: deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20120523T000000Z/ unstable main As described on the snapshot.debian.org front page, I run apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update then install the package: apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false \ install linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64=3.2.18-1 and then I remove the entry from sources.list.
