[Alug]Adding sources to /etc/apt/sources.list
Hi Folks, I have recently installed Debian 3.0 but the only sources currently listed in my /etc/apt/sources.list are my installation CDs. I would like to add some sources from the internet so I can download security and program updates. Are there any particular sites ALUGers would recommend that I add to this source list? Thanks, Ian.

My sources.list looks something like ------ deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free ------ for other things you may like http://www.apt-get.org/ Adam

Why not just use apt-setup? Normaly adds all the diffrent sources I need for Debian packages. -- James 'BR' Ray - EMail: jamesr@pethippo.co.uk / j.ray@herts.ac.uk - PGP : http://www.pethippo.co.uk/in.php/pgp

works for me! :o) Someone on this list also pointed me in the direction of a nice little utility that takes a list of debian sites and works out which ones give the best throughput. That worked well. Sorry, I'm at work and can't remember what it is called or who told me about it. Keith ____________ Since it is no part of the words we unthinkingly use, it leaves no trace in the things we say.

It wasn't me that told Keith.... But the app in question is apt-spy. Regards, Paul. On Monday 16 June 2003 3:28 pm, Keith Watson wrote:
