edit sources.list to get the "Testing" sources, do this in your terminal

cd /etc/apt/
vi sources.list
remove the # on the testing line
and make a # on the stable

then
apt-get update
apt-get install "name of the program"

I am fairly new to this also so if I have said anything wrong please correct me.

Hello everyone, I have a very dumb question--sorry.

After I download a .dsl file, like xv.dsl or XFree86.dsl

How do I install it? I can't use

apt-get -testing install xv

because xv and Xfree86 don't appear, even with all comments removed from the config file.

Help!

Thanks,
Freitag
