Nothing to do with laptops, but ... You can use sources.list to include testing and invoke apt-get with a '-t stable' option or add the following to /etc/apt/apt.conf APT::Default-Release "testing"; Err, that is in testing you can, don't know 'bout stable. You could always just grab the deb and use `dpkg -i' to install. May need to upgrade a few libraries as well, though, so generally apt-get would be more painless. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
