Can anyone quickly guide me through the process of installing a package from "Testing" or "Unstable" with aptitude? I tried "aptitude -t testing show librmagick-ruby", but it shows me the Stable version. Rob And dont forget to uncomment the line with stable, and #to comment out# the line with unstable after you get your package, and then run apt-get update again, or your next upgrade will bring your styable machine to unstable Thierry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
