You need packages that were built for your system. In most cases you cannot install packages from testing or unstable on stable. Go to <http://www.apt-get.org>. Also take a look at <http://www.backports.org>. > (2)Where can I find pico for debian? > I searched through the http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/ and > it's not there. If there's no pico dor debian, what simple text editor > similar to pico would you recommend. I think pico belongs to pine (although it seems there are also no installable pine packes in stable). Nano is a pico clone (at least the package description says it is, I never used pico). Nano is part of the base system and probably is already installed. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
