I have done something wrong.
I am trying to get my system to contact my ISP's mirror, first, before
going further outside.
Here are the lines in sources.list:
# Testing
deb ftp://ftp.filearena.net/pub/debian/pool/ testing main contrib
non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian testing main
My ISP has a mirror which contains heaps of Debian files which I can
download free of download limit restrictions. Nice :-)
How could I tel apt/aptitude to look there first for any files I want?

Basicaly the question is in the subject line :-)
I recently re-installed, saving my original home files and so on,
including the .deb files from /var/cache. I have put those files back
into /var/cache.
Will apt or aptitude find those files, or will they want to download
them again?

Yes, that's your/my problem. My files came from (apt) debian.org so
that should be OK. Documantation seems not to cover magic

Well - it's certainly on topic! :-)
this is what I find:

moby-thesaurus is not a valid database, use -D for a list
No definitions found for "quit"

Anyone downlaoded this and made it work?
I'd be pleased for some advice.

Thanks to all those helpful people who responded.
I have three HDs and around 70G free, so I'll keep Knoppix as my working
system and gradually "work up" a true Debian system on a separate
partition. From discussions on this list it seems that
"testing" (sarge) is the way to go initially.

I have just started to use Debian - some would say I still haven't
started because I'm using Knoppix 3.4 installed on my HD.
The distro works very well, but there are one or two things I want to do
and/or install that Knoppix doesn't cover, though Debian packages
certainly can.
