Got the networking going. WooHoo.
Excellent.
Now I'm going to spend some time watching cartoons and if a few days start asking a bunch of questions to try to get my X working.
Or you could let the downloading occur while you're watching cartoons.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the repository from which you wish to install. Here's mine:
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. #deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free #deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
# Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work #deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
# UnStable deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
# Stable deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
This gives me a sid box (unstable), with security patches that are backported to stable, along with any packages in stable that for one reason or another are not available in unstable.
One minor question set.
1) The backspace key doesn't work in vi. Is this some kind of terminal settings problem or an nvi problem (I'm used to vim). Is there a debian package for vim? Can I just install it without removing nvi without confusing anything?
Sorry; I avoid vi as much as I can, and therefore know little about it.
