Hi!Stupid question for debian users here: is there an easy way to "downgrade" a distro from testing/sarge to stable/woody?The reason I ask is that a couple of weeks ago I performed a dist-upgrade on the Mac G3 running stable/woody. It was working just fine but I needed some packaged that were only available in testing & unstable and the libc6 package was not compatible. So I went for testing by changing the apt-preferences and performed a dist-upgrade.Bad idea. Now the mac will randomly look dead when I try to access it in the morning -- no network access, nothing interactive session... I looks kind of random too, sometime it's up for a couple of days, sometimes more, sometimes less. I can't figure what is the source of the problem.So I'd like to revert the packages to stable/woody. I changed apt-preferences (pinned down testing) and did a dist-upgrade (dry run) and apt-get just tells me everything's fine, I have the latest packages...
Pin stable to >1000 and then try a dist-upgrade. It should /try/ to work, but downgrading isn't really well-supported.
