heya, i know you can do stuff with 'pinning' in your apt configurations, but i don't know enough about that to give specifics. i'm sure it's been explained on this list a few times anyways, try searching back for apt.conf and pin . however the quick hack i use is to put deb-src entries for the newer release, and then apt-get source package -b to make a debian package out of the source for the package from the newer version. it works pretty well on smaller packages, though i could see getting into a rut with build-depends for complicated packages. the nice thing is sense you only give it the src entries you won't risk accidentally upgrading your entire system. that failing, there's always /usr/local :) hth sean On Tue, Dec 31, 2002 at 12:25:48AM -0500, Hal Vaughan wrote: > I'm still having problems with my ATI card.
