You can't really look around those areas and find anything useful--you need to look at the package pool areas. Anyway, why bother spelunking the FTP sites? They are _not_ designed for humans to wander through! They are designed to be efficient for automated tools like APT to find things in. If you can't find it via APT then you should use the package locator at the Debian site; go to the home page and pick "Debian Packages": http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Enter "postgresql" as the keyword and choose "Any" distribution, then "Search". You'll find all the PostgreSQL related packages, and you can click on them to find out all sorts of useful information, and to download the DEB directly (you could then install it with "dpkg -i <debfile>"). But that's a bad idea: use APT. If you're just going to download the DEB files you might as well be using RPM :). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
