Re: Unstable vs. Stable

You will have to upgrade dpkg by hand to the version in the release you
are installing:

	dpkg -i dpkg-x.x.x.x.deb
	dpkg --clear-avail

_Then_ update the list of available packages.

There may be a manual edit of your X configuration required. People who
understand X a lot better than I are available to help out on this list.

There may be other small hassles, but an upgrade should certainly be
possible.

	Thanks
