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
I've added these lines and downloaded the latest updates. Still I
have incredibly slow DNS lookups. Like I mentioned earlier, this is
definitely not happening in Windows Vista which runs on the same
machine from a different drive/partition.
Once the DNS lookup completes, things seem pretty fast. I'm not sure
where else to look at this point.
