It should look something like this. deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free The deb-src lines aren't necessary unless you need apt-get source to work. Otherwise, remember to apt-get update before apt-get dist-upgrade. Hth, Shane -- Shane Wegner http://www.cm.nu/~shane/
