Here’s stuff that I forget. Like how to install something from Debian backports. apt-get install debian-backports-keyring apt-get -t etch-backports install package-name http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions Don’t forget to add to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free It’s not a bad idea to make sure that etch-backports then updates that file. So pin it in /etc/apt/preferences (that file might not exist): Package: package-name Pin: release a=etch-backports Pin-Priority: 200
