Sorry, I missed your original post. You can use pinning to keep from upgrading everything to experimental if you do modify your apt sources, or you can just look through the Packages file to ind the actual location of the file your looking for, e.g: steve:~$ grep eog2.*.deb /var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_.._project_experimental_main_binary-i386_Packages Filename: pool/main/e/eog2/eog2_1.0.1-2_i386.deb This is after an apt-get update, but you can download the Packages file and grep it that way, if you prefer. Then you can wget or ftp the deb you want. HTH, Steve -- Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.
