Not a stupid question at all. When installing packages from other releases the main thing you have to worry about is dependencies -- e.g. If I install package Y from woody/unstable, will it require that I update libc, apache, bash, and/or other things which I don't want updated from unstable? In the case of scanlogd, it doesn't have an odd dependencies -- it'll install smoothly into potato/frozen. The thing to watch out for is new releases. Unstable is unstable. Since you're not tracking woody in dselect or sources.list, you're not going to automatically be notified if a new version or bug fix release of scanlogd comes out. -- Regards, | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Upgrade your old legacy NT . | <http://www.golgotha.net> | machines to GNU/Linux!
