Hi, and thanks for helping out. It's not working :( I tried: Package: * Pin: origin "" Pin-Priority: 1001 Also tried: Pin: origin apt-cache policy xchat; prints a priority of 500 for both file and http. I took a look at the apt-howto and then looked at the following file: /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary- i386_Packages This file is supposed to contain: *Archive: stable Version: 2.2r3 *Component: main *Origin: Debian *Label: Debian Architecture: i386 But the *'d info is missing. I also took a look at this file: /var/lib/apt/lists/_usr_share_debian_disc1_dists_etch_main_binary- i386_Packages It has only this info: Package: adduser Priority: important Section: admin Installed-Size: 900 Maintainer: Debian Adduser Developers <adduser- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 3.102 Note that this meta-data lacks an information regarding origin (http/ file/ftp) is missing? Since, Pin: release/origin need to be fed parameters (Label, Archive, Origin) to filter on, i guess that is the reason why it doesn't work?? > See "blacklist" in the manpage of modprobe.conf.

This didn't work either :( darkstar> cat /etc/modprobe.d/blockedMods install fan /bin/true install thermal /bin/true install processor /bin/true Also, contents of: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist blacklist fan blacklist thermal blacklist processor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
