Pinning unstable

[Keith O'Connell <keith_oconnell@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hi,

I find that I have a need for some packages from unstable. I want to remain a far as possible with Woody and have been told that "package-pinning is the solution I am looking for. 

I have just read the apt manual and the man page for sources.list, but there is no reference to pinning or isolating packages for tracking and this was where I expected to find it. 

I am capable of doing this from the written instruction, but it would seem that I am not capable of finding those instructions!

Could I please be told which docs I need to read to enable me to learn this fresh skill. 

Keith
