i suggest you use the stable tree first before you venture into testing and/or unstable trees. you can, however, combine testing/unstable packages even if you're using the stable tree. don't be frustrated with debian. it's dselect that's frustrating --use apt instead. you might want to read on the apt howto. here's the link: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ you'll love apt once you get the hang of it. hth, marc -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
