Here's [1] a good tutorial on running multiple versions of stability in Debian, with 'apt-get -t testing install <package>'. However, there's a chance of conflicts, or other problems. So the safest way, especially for just one package, is to manually download the .deb package from debian.org and manually install it with 'dpkg -i'. -Jon Dehdari [1] http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
