BTW, apt has a cool feature that I found out about last week. If you want to run the stable or testing dist, but have some packages from unstable installed, then read apt_preferences(5) to find out how this works, then put APT::Default-Release "testing"; in apt.conf, and list some unstable debian archives in your sources.list. Then apt-get works normally, but you can install packages from unstable by doing: apt-get install packagename/unstable e.g. apt-get install octave-matcompat/unstable for example. (If you do something that requires upgrading already installed packages from testing to unstable, you need to use -t unstable to do this.) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
