Correct. Also, as the commented part suggests, you should use the mirror closest to you. For example, if you live in Sweden, the repository line to use would be deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib If in US: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib And so on. -- :wq -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
