hi and thanks so much for trying to help
i tried what you said but got:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-2.6.36-trunk-686 : Depends: linux-base (>=
2.6.36-1~experimental.1) but 2.6.32-27 is to be installed
Recommends: firmware-linux-free (>=
2.6.36) but 2.6.32-27 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
so it isn't installed
also i didn't have a /etc/apt/preferences file so i created it ... is
that correct?

break the rest of my system? :(
No, it won't. Just do the following:
# cat>> /etc/apt/preferences<< EOF
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 102
EOF
# echo "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main">>
/etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update
# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.36-trunk-686
This should prevent any unwanted upgrades from experimental and still
allow you to hand-pick kernels from there. The installation updates one
additional package that should not hurt you. Other than that running a
squeeze with .36 should be fine.
Best regards
Uwe
