people.debian.org is not an aptable archive. if someone has compiled a particular version of some software that you really need that isn't in your dist-of-choice yet, then you need to download it (i like wget for this) and then install it using 'dpkg -i PACKAGE.deb' > also, should I be trying to get i686 packages i386 will work on recent x86 products, they just won't have been compiled to use all the optimisations available to the compiler for your particular revision of the x86 architecture. marty -- "No GUI for you!
