Ok your probably trying to put the unstable version on to a testing or stable system. If it is a stable system just dist-upgrade to woody. If it is already at testing(woody), you can use apt pinning. Do a 'man apt_preferences' to get a good listing of what apt pinning is. You should read that first. Then add this to a file called '/etc/apt/preferences' Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 100 Then go and add unstable sources to your sources.list file(hint: copy your woody/testing sources and change woody/testing to unstable). After this do an 'apt-get update && apt-get -t unstable install mozilla' and you should be running the mozilla version you want. But watch out getting stuff from unstable. Stuff in there is known to be broken and you use it at your own risk(even though in practice unstable is quite stable). -- -Peace kid Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "God's the ultimate playa, so naturally He's going to have some haters," rapper Ice Cube said.
