You have to add, to your sources.list, a pointer to unstable to be able to apt-get the file. Otherwise got to debian.org and get the package with your browser (don't forget to get any other necessary (unstable) packages it requires. Then install it/(them) with dpkg. -- Of course I know how to copy disks. Where's the xerox machine? _______________________________________________________
