Thanks for your answer, Gunther. I'm still new, could you (or anyone for that matter) please make that a bit more user friendly? I understand that I'll have to "hold some packages", but I don't know how to do that. I've tried editing the /etc/apt/sources.list before and it failed probably because I didn't hold those packages. I run $ cat /etc/apt/preferences and it says "no file found". How do I hold packages? Where can I find this in the documentation? Thanks for your patience. This computer is my Grandma's old computer that I rescued from an early grave with Debian, and I'm hoping to keep it as up-to-date as possible as long as possible. I'm still hoping to find a way to adjust the monitor. It's really crooked and doesn't use all the screen area. Any Ideas, anyone? Nicholas Chase
