In my experience, running a mixed system is trickier than getting the program you need directly from the source (especially in cases where the desired program isn't even in unstable yet!). At least for projects like Firefox and OpenOffice, which are generally pretty straightforward to install. In the case of Firefox 3.5, it's pretty simple: download it from getfirefox.com extract it: tar -xvjf firefox-3.5.tar.bz2 run firefox with: ~./firefox/firefox You can put a symlink to ~/firefox/firefox in ~/bin/ or wherever is convenient, or if you use a desktop with icons, add one that points to ~/firefox/firefox, and you're all done. I just did that this morning. When Iceweasel 3.5 is ready for my testing system, I'll install that as usual and delete ~/firefox/ Cheers, Tyler -- Friends don't let friends send Word documents http://www.nothingisreal.com/dfki/no-word -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
