using apt-get to install unstable packages
Hi, I've installed potato but am looking to get my intel810 sound
chipset to work, this requires the latest version of ALSA, but the
ALSA that comes with potato isn't.
So, can I use apt-get to install from the unstable packages list that
contains a more recent version of ALSA? Even though I'm running
potato/stable?
I've so far tried downloading the .deb's from woody and using dpkg but
it failed the install horribly, I believe I'm now at a half state of
woody ALSA and potato ALSA. I've also tried compiling it by hand, and
after downloading all the tarballs, and compiling the kernel (just to
get a version.h) it crapped out on something else (that I have no idea
about or the will to figure it out right now) and thought there's got to
be an easier way.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
