Perhaps what you *really* want is not testing but sarge? If you just want to upgrade to the (soon to be stable) sarge, then put in "sarge" not "testing". That way when sarge becomes the new stable you will be tracking the stable distribution, and you can then change it to stable again. -- Chris Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux --- The best things in life are free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
