sources.list question

[rattler]

The sources.list is "proper" for knoppix.

I've run into a few packages that wouldn't install unless I ran apt-get like this:
apt-get -t testing "package-name"
( or -t unstable ) otherwise I got dependency errors and couldn't install the package.

HTH

It does, indeed, help. OTOH, it seems like having to have all those references (stable, testing, unstable) and having to type what you recommend kinda makes knoppix seem like it's built like a house of cards.

One question, though: it doesn't sound like you need to type the above every time, so...when I type just apt-get install whatever, is the whatever going to be updated from stable, testing, or unstable.

At any rate, It's a great distro.

Thanks for your insight.
