Folks, I made a cuckoo (mess up) - I had installed Etch from netinst and
done the upgrades. That was a while ago. Last night I decided I wanted
gnomad2 from unstable so amended my /etc/apt/sources.list and installed
it (along with other dependencies, particularly I remember OO being
removed/(re)installed). Now I seem to be having problems with gdm/X
(non-responding). I think I'd prefer the stable Etch without gnomad2,
but how do I easily "unroll" what I did last night? I'm happy to
re-install Etch from the CD but is there a quicker way and anyway not to
lose the data on the HD?
Pointers to FAQs (surely I'm not the first!) are most welcome!
T.I.A.

You can try using the apt_preferences file in /etc/apt
For me, adding the following lines and doing an apt-get dis-upgrade once
worked (that was long ago for going back to sarge from etch)
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
YMMV
