No as long as you dont do an update or whatnot...

I recommend the synaptic.dsl bud

Code Sample
update
   update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources


Code Sample
upgrade
   upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list


< man apt-get >

That might help clear things up

yes i know how to use apt-get. What i was asking though is if dsl runs into problems trying to get unstable ONLY packages.
