He must also comment out (# front of each) each line referencing his CDs or they will be used over the on line links. Best Wishes!

The answer is of course easily found by reading documents on the web site in any case. Try something like this: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-fre e deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free I guess you could s/woody/stable/ there, I guess I never got around to it after the release ;-) Cheers!
