Show up to my presentation next Thu to learn how ;-).

For now, use the '=3D' to specify a version when installing.

$ apt-cache show xserver-xfree86 | grep ^Vers
Version: 4.2.1-9
Version: 4.2.1-6
Version: 4.1.0-16


# apt-get install xserver-xfree86=3D4.2.1-9

See cafod for more info.

See www.apt-get.org for unofficial packages. Brandon, the X maintainer has
unofficial packages available from his repository. That's where the one on
Knoppix came from :).
