I want to be sure that I understand the significance of this. Are you saying that pinning a certain package, say "randompackage", to "unstable" in /etc/apt/preferences is worse than doing this the first time that "randompackage" is installed? ... apt-get -t unstable install randompackage Or do these two methods have equally undesirable effects? -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
