Installing new software



Hi,
I am running Debian Potato with XFree86 3. I have a full woody set of CD's but am unable to get XFree86 4 to work at all. Unfortunately, I can't use
any of the other software on the woody cds because the system always wants to upgrade everything including X, which then won't work.
How can I use the updated versions of say gimp, mozilla apache etc without the need to update X.
I will come back to the problem with X later but at the moment I would just like to use the other updated packages.
Is this possible and if so how?
Any help will be great.

Regards,

Dave
