newbie: apt->x11 only?

I would like to get only xfree86 4.0 (out of woody, presumably), but don't want to deal with all of woody updates - what's the easiest way? i tried getting sources.list to point only to pool/../xfree, and such, without success i also tried loading all 'testing' into dselect but couldn't get it to

partial upgrade confusion

2002-02-20 Thread Remy Indebetouw
I have potato but libc6 (and a couple of other things, I think binutils) from woody. I need lib6c-dev, but want as little else as possible. I tried pointing my sources.list at woody, running apt-get upgrade, and apt-get install libc6-dev. It wants to do a lot of things that I didn't think would

Re: partial upgrade confusion

Thanks for the reply; The thing I don't understand is if all the other upgrades are tied to upgrading libc6, how I got libc6 on there in the first place without upgrading the rest (I've got libc6-2.2.5-3 according to dselect). Given that everything seems to be happy with libc6-2.2.5-3, can I just

another potato/woody X3/4 question

2002-03-07 Thread Remy Indebetouw
I've got a potato/woody pinned hybrid, and my main reluctance to just dist-upgrade is related to this: I appear to have both Xfree 3 and 4 (see apt-cache output below; I didn't purposefully do this, parts of X4 came along with libc6-dev, I think. BTW thanks to those who convinced me that apt woul
