Have you tried Squeeze backports, Bob? http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/ It works great for any packages that are there. I did search for a 3.x kernel, using various terms and couldn't find one. If the kernel you want is in Wheezy, I am surprised if it is not in backports and my search abilitites fade with my eyesight. But you can, by pinning, use just named packages form Wheezy. I have not tried this and can therefore not tell you how, but it seems to be eminently doable by the competant! The Debian users list would be a good place to ask. There are some real experts on pinning there. But tell them what you want to achieve. There may be a more debianised way of doing it. http://lists.debian.org/ HTH Lisi -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
