You would need to setup a /etc/apt/preferences file, add testing to yor sources.list, and use pinning. Even so libc6 (upgrade) will be a depend on anythig from Testing. For what you want, it may be safer/easier to use 'apt-source' and build the few packages you want. If you are lucky there won't be any depends or only a couple that you will have to also build. You may need to run 'apt-get build-dep' in order to build your package, you would get an error message to this effect. - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/U+QEk7rtxKWZzGsRAkNYAJsFII7hg1P+CVac4Omw6y06cPszmwCgnIMp cjpWB2cx7/aWp1jAOwsIfJE= =afRa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
