I think that the new way of installation is that the boot-floppies grab the deb packages that once composed the base system from a network repository as needed, but I must confess that this is not as handy as having one tar file, especially if you're doing things in-house. > Or can I do to install a stable system, and than upgrade the > packages giving the "testing" path into source.list when using > dselect? Yes, that's a possibility (and, I think, the way to go). BTW, I don't know how people can use dselect. I haven't used it for a long while, but when I did, it was one of the worst programs regarding Human-Computer Interface that I had used. Of course, it may have changed since then. And apt-get is nice. :-) []s, Roger... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogério Brito - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
