Some of my other machines run testing, but I've got the unstable package repository in my sources.list (and Default-Release "testing"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf, so unstable doesn't get used by default, but I can install packages from it. see apt-preferences(8). I just found this feature in apt a couple weeks ago, and I love it. :) I've got apt version 0.5.3 on my system running woody/testing. Even if you leave the rest of the system at potato, you might want to update to a new apt. > I have already but it's not easy to find a package which is not > available. ;) packages.debian.org has a search that lets you easily search for stuff that isn't immediately available for install on the machine you're using. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
