The most certain way is to download the source package and build it on your own machine. Install devscripts; add the source line in /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; cd /usr/src [or somewhere]; apt-get source package; cd package-directory; debuild; cd ..; dpkg -i package*.deb. If you don't want to do that, you can investigate pinning in apt (read the docs - I haven't used it myself!) -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
