$ ping http.us.debian.org PING ftp.us.debian.org (64.50.236.52) Is that the only error you got? If so, and if you aren't building from source, just comment out that src line in /etc/apt/sources.list. Does the relevant line look like either of these? deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free Have you considered using a local mirror? eg.:- mirror.3fl.net.au Westnet ftp.netspace.net.au Netspace Online Systems mirror.waia.asn.au Western Australian Internet Association Also (East coast):- http://ftp.monash.edu.au/pub/linux/debian/ http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian/ http://mirror.optus.net/debian/ For more see:- http://www.debian.org/mirror/sponsors <snipped> If none of the above solve your problem, please post:- /etc/apt/sources.list Kind regards -- "Oh sorry, I was taking life seriously." — Bill Hicks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
