Hi I have just installed Woody from scratch and want to get some packaged form unstable (latest Xwindows). I have edited my apt sources and prefernces to pin the machine to Woody but if I do a an apt-get -s to test what it would do it always wants to install packages from Sarge rather than Woody ! I thought with this setup that I would need to use -t Sarge or Sid to force a package to install from anything other than Woody. Below are the config files and the output when testing installation of aptitude.
