I won't try all of that repositories ;): http://www.apt-get.org/main/ I forgo about: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KDVD-RAM+Tools?content=45888 because of Debian Etch's oldish KDE. TorK because of Debian Debian Etch's oldish libs.

That is not the end of the world, is it? I'm thinking of the latest 32bit Suse and as DAW for the latest 64bit 64 Studio. It would be fine if it will be possible to use 64 Studio for all needs. > | I'm short in time today, I try to download and install a 32bit kernel > | later or tomorrow. > > I can't get to this before the weekend anyway. > > | PS: The next problem will be the installation of the ATI driver with > | a 32bit plus 64bit "transition" source :S.
