If I go into the Method option of dselect and change my ftp source from
stable to unstable, in order for me to download one package (gnome), will
dselect try to download everything that's got a newer version to what I've
got installed?

In other words, how do I just get gnome (and its dependents) without
messing up my hamm system and/or what dselect looks for in the future?

Thanks.

Kent
