Don't know if this is your problem or not but in my slink sources.list, I have deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib ^^^^^^ and in my potato box deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib ^^^^^^ They both work fine. Might be a link problem due the recent unstable to stable change(?). :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) -- As far as we know, our computer has never had an undetected error. -- Weisert _______________________________________________________
