Examples are always good so here is what works for me... # cat /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 650 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 and I have multiple stable/testing/unstable entries in my /etc/apt/sources.list which then allows me to install any package with a... apt-get -t unstable install amarok and not have to worry about editing files. If a package seems to have trouble starting then use "ldd /path/to/proggie" and see if any libs are missing. Overall one of the best strategies I find is to have a few "spare" 5Gb to 10Gb partitions available for various system installs and use a common large /home partition. This way you can have 32bit/64bit 64studio, ubuntustudio and any other distros all just a boot away (or a kvm/virtualbox invocation away). --markc _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
