Here's what mine has (split for readability): deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free > second, If I do and apt-get update then does this filter through to > dselect?

Make sure you select Update from dselect's menu before you go to Select. `apt-get update' by itself won't update dselect's view of the world.
