Go to https://packages.debian.org , and you can search for packages. At the very top of the page, you can limit your search to a particular suite or architecture, and squeeze-backports is listed there. So it should exist. Maybe it doesn't exist on the mirror you are redirected to, try a few specific ones. There are, however, no hits on bumblebee for squeeze at all, so it won't help in this case. Maybe you could try to build it from source? At this point that may be your only chance. If only you could do that with the drivers... It might also be that it is (maybe for one of the reasons I listed in my previous mail) incompatible with Squeeze. I just don't know, sorry. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."
