You can't [actually, you don't want to] mix packages from Debian and Ubuntu (or any Debian based distribution). Just one small example: A package foo version 1.0 for ubuntu may have a small patch that isn't applied in Debian. Upgrading from foo_1.0ubuntu.deb to Debian/Sid's foo1.1.deb may break that program (and your system ;). ...Doing the other way around (Ubuntu on Debian) would be a bad idea too, for the same reason. Of course, you are welcome to install Debian on a separate partition ! Franklin BTW, this mailing list is mainly about Debian website. You can get help installing Debian on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
