I think the warnings from both Andys and hede are a bit too one-sided, if well-meant. If you need to install an older Debian, that's what the archives are for, after all (I had to, for a customer's embedded system, and the archives were invaluable for the system itself as well as for the chroot cross-compile environment to create specific binaries: said system had 4 megabytes of RAM and 4 megabytes of flash (yes *mega*, you read correctly) so no chance a current debian could play there). You should somewhat know what you are doing: exposing such a system to the wide internet would be asking for trouble, of course. I wouldn't use that as my "dayly driver" without a very good reason, either. Generalizations always suck :-) Cheers -- t
