First, create an /etc/apt/preferences file, and put something like this in it: #------------------------------ Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=testing Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release o=unstable Pin-Priority: 1 #------------------------------ Now, once you put that in there, add a testing and/or unstable mirror to your sources.list file. By doing this, apt-get should default to stable, then to testing, then finally to unstable. To grab something from a specific version - say unstable - you can do this: apt-get install -t unstable [packagename] -Tim -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
