I use woody and some packages from unstable (SID)
I got a preferencefile like:
debian:/home/gerhard# cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=woody
Pin-Priority: 777
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 333
Add for v4.2 to your /etc/apt/sources.list
# XF86 v4.2
# Here are unofficial debs.
deb http://chunk.mp3revolution.net/~aaronl/x ./
# beware of Locale issues. see:
#http://www.debianhelp.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2111&mode=flat&order=0&thold=0
Add for unstable something like:
deb ftp://ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice unstable main contrib
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable contrib main non-free
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free ( 'contrib non-free' belongs to the line above
Than do an apt-get update, and you can install with an
apt-get -t unstable <paketname>
pakets from unstable without upgrade your whole system.
apt-get install <paketname> installs from woody.
apt-get upgrade upgrades AFAIK only the neccessary security pakets.
