Since you're installing, you might be a newbie (like me - at Debian, anyway). I've been doing ad-hoc tech support for my Dad for years, and his most common problem report is "it didn't do it". Then I have to wheedle the details that he doesn't have words for out of him to be of any help, usually over the trans-pacific phone lines. So I've developed a habit of assuming nothing. My apologies if I've misunderstood your situation. > --------------- > deb cdrom:[Debian Disk 2^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M]/ pool/ > deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20021218)]/ > unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main > deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main > > deb http://mirror.pacific.net.au/debian/ stable main > deb-src http://mirror.pacific.net.au/debian/ stable main > deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main > deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main > --------------- The "^M" stuff looks like DOS/unix file translation issues. The rest of the file looks ok to me. We're getting past what I do know about. I have a suggestion: Run "apt-get update", then "apt-get dist-upgrade" to deal with any mixed dependency issues brought on by installing from CD and net. "man apt-get" says "dist-upgrade" has some extra intelligence about resolving dependency issues. Probably someone reading this who knows more than me will jump in and tell me that's useless, but at least I don't think it can do any harm.
