You should add on lines after that lines that point to your mirror of choice. Mine (in Canada) is: deb http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free This ensures that you get the most up-to-date packages within Etch (stable). And if you want: deb http://debian-multimedia.org etch main deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main \ contrib non-free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
