Re: installing packages from testing in sarge

[Amadan Korvin <amadan.korvin@gmail.com>]

There is a section of the apt-howto reference that deals with keeping
a mixed system: 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-default-version
though you will end up writing to two different config files inside
/etc/apt, so if you aren't cool with that, then try this:

aptitude or apt-get install mozilla-firefox -t testing (or -t unstable)

it is true that usually keepign a mixed system is a disaster.  
however, in the case of firefox, not too many packages have to be
upgraded in order to support the latest version - apt-get will handle
this for you.  i am running a stable sarge with the unstable version
of firefox, with no problems.
