How can I have Netscape 4.75 without upgrading 157 packages to unstable?
I just installed Potato and read in the mailing list archive How to upgrade Netscape to 4.75 but in order to do that I include unstable in my apt source list. I installed Communicator 4.75 and everything it required but now dselect wants to update about 157 packages, and I would prefer to keep everything (except what is required for Netscape 4.75) stable what should I do?

Personally, I'd go to www.netscape.com and get what I wanted and install it in /usr/local. Then when I was ready to upgrade to woody I'd remove the /usr/local version. Just a thought. Gary

What I do is edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to unstable, then # apt-get update # apt-get install navigator I make sure it doesn't want to pull in a new libc6 for the package I want from unstable (it doesn't for netscape) before I approve and let it continue. After the install, I edit /etc/apt/sources.list again to point it back to potato and run `apt-get update' again. Peter
