what are basteel and sad? Can you explain any advantages to having a mixed distrobution? This sort of thing with mixing versions has messed me up before. also, if you run apt-setup it will automatically include the merrors for security. It will not include the non-free, non-us and the contrib sections. Any who is running the iso, I'd take a good look at your apt.sources list and make sure it has the version, /stable /testing /unstable, that you want because mine was really strange to begin with. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jude DaShiell" <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 6:32 PM Subject: /etc/apt/sources.list > Gllenn and anyone else, this may help.
