Installing test kernel using APT.

[Ivan Teliatnikov <ivan geosci usyd edu au>]

Hi there,

I want to install test kernel using APT. I have made a local mirror of 
fredora-legacy APT repository using RSYNC tool and placed appropriate 
lines into /etc/apt/sources.list file

rpm ftp://mirror.geosci.usyd.edu.au/download.fedoralegacy.org/apt 
redhat/8.0/i386 os updates
rpm ftp://mirror.geosci.usyd.edu.au/download.fedoralegacy.org/apt 
redhat/8.0/i386 legacy-utils
rpm ftp://mirror.geosci.usyd.edu.au/download.fedoralegacy.org/apt 
redhat/8.0/i386 updates-testing

Running 

apt-get update; apt-get install kernel;

shows a list of kernel available. in "os updates" directory. It does not 
lists kernels located in updates-testing.

How do I make packages (e.g.kernel) located in updates-testing visible from 
an apt-get client?
