Point your sources.list entried to unstable. WARNING: If you do so, you'll get on the next run of apt-get update; apt-get upgrade the packages from unstable which may be broken (the name is not there just for joke) IIf you want you install some packages from unstable, but want to stay with stable (woody) or testing (sarge), I recommend setting up the APT pinning feature available at woody/sarge. See man apt_preferences and http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html (see especially 3.7 and later) Regards, Rene -- .''`.
