I don't know if that directory is apt-gettable, but downloading individual packages (eg with wget) always works. Taking a quick glance with links, I see a file named "APT". It reads as follows : ~~~~~ # add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list to use this repository deb http://people.debian.org/~branden/ sid/$(ARCH)/ # add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list to use this source repository deb-src http://people.debian.org/~branden/ sid/source/ ~~~~~ | If sources.list, is there an example.

I would choose to not install an old version of X when you know you're not going to keep it. If the 4.2 packages are uninstallable if you don't already have an X install then they are buggy and unusable (how then could they be part of 'stable' which is meant to be installed from scratch). -D -- (A)bort, (R)etry, (T)ake down entire network? http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
