Just put the following in lines in /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 400 (for an explanation see "man apt_preferences") You'll probably have to do some "dpkg -i --force-overwrite" stuff, but apart from that it shouldn't be problem. cheers, Yven PS: I hope you are aware of the fact that testing is security-wise really the worst distribution to run, much worse than unstable! -- Yven Johannes Leist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.leist.beldesign.de
