Yes, you can do it directly with apt-get by:
* Pointing your sources.list to potato
* Running 'apt-get update'
* Running 'apt-get install packages' whe
Hi,
I have a machine running slink, but I need some packages only available on
potato.
Is it possible to install those packages (preferably with dselect or
apt-get) without updating the whole system to potato?
As soon as I included the unstable directories in apt, dselect forced me

Potato is newer stuff. The trade-off is that it is less stable -
hasn't been tested as thoroughly. Potato is almost read

Ever heard of a symlink?
unstable -> potato
stable -> slink
I
Those are directory aliases, they go to the same place.
If you cd to slink you will get to stable
if you cd to potato you will get to unstable.

Then how come at ftp.debian.org there's a directory named slink and also
a directory named stable, and a directory named potato and al
Hi,
It appears that the the other directories are just symbolic links.
In other words, opening "stable" is the same as opening "slink".
When I first installed linux, I had to figure out all of this
stuff, as I copied the entire slink CD to my hard drive under
win95, and had to fix up all of thes

I was brave, I just did apt-get dist-upgrade and waiting about 10 hours
for it to download everything and upgrade. Have had very little trouble
with it.

a entry in sources.list pointing to an unstable archive.

The version of lsof that I see in the slink and potato dists is only usable
on kernels up to 2.0.35. Yet slink is a 2.0.36 kernel, and potato is a
2.2.x kernel... which means the lsof included with the distro is unusable.
Is this a distro bug or am I just missing something?
