deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org unstable main non-free It seems to be normal for a sid installation to also have a testing entry. The sources.list for Stable and Testing should contain only their own repositories. The name sid can be used, or unstable, as they will always be synonymous. If you do include the 'testing' entry, call it exactly that, as the name of the current Testing will change at the time of the next release. You may not want the multimedia repository, or either non-free or contrib in the sid and testing entries. They are all optional for a sid installation, only the 'deb <mirror>/debian/ sid main' repository is essential. You will need deb-src entries, which are otherwise the same as the deb entries, if you expect to need source code packages. Non-free source code may not always be available. -- Joe
