^^^ pointing to description of the process ^^^ This is out of date? http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html It was updated a month ago. > In addition, is there a written example of adding a package from sid? Be sure sid is in apt.sources, then... apt-get install package That should get sid if you have no /etc/apt/preferences or the more sureshot way apt-get -t distribution install package Look at 'Keeping a mixed system' in the doc mentioned above, or search for apt preferences, or apt-pinning to keep control of things -- Chris Martin Web Developer Open Source & Web Standards Advocate http://www.chriscodes.com/
