1) Let apt-get's source.list point to stable 2) Download whatever packages you need and install with dpkg -i 3) If you compile packages yourself, change the control file ($SRC/debian/control) so that it doesn't depend on something you don't want to upgrade -- Andrew Chung [EMAIL PROTECTED] See http://anderoo.dhs.org/~anderoo/pgp.html for PGP key It's a sin only if you dwell on the what ifs and the but ifs
