Why do you want to do that? I'm still very happy with my Apache 1.3.26 cause
it still works perfect!

Just keep in mind that there seem to be many problems with such backports. I
remember some posts in this group where people could not use the GD
features anymore because the new (backported) php-gd extension was
incompatible to the original (not backported, still from Woody) GD library.

- add the source to /etc/apt/sources.list and re-run apt-get update/upgrade
- or install the packages manually using 'dpkg -i <packagename.deb>'

Of course, official (from Debian) security patches are only provided for the
official Woody packages!
