Try this in your /etc/apt/sources.lst deb http://debian.attica.net.nz/debian etch main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main What happens when you do an update. IOW you could have a crook mirror. If DNS probs, try the opendns servers[1]: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 [1] Even got an ISP that couldn't access google, accessing Google again, and fast -- what I thought was poor network performance must have been DNS lookup problems! -- Chris. ====== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
