If you don't want to pull in the dependencies, you will have to build it from source, something like this: # apt-get devscripts fakeroot $ cd .../src $ apt-get source snort $ cd snort-1.9.0 $ debuild That will create a package in .../src, which you can then install: # dpkg -i .../src/snort_1.9.0*deb -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."
