-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Well I guess I have to go and find another mirror!!! I like easynews.com for its speed but I keep getting '404' errors on these lib dev packages. I can't even lookup the change logs on libstd-6.4.3. This brings me to another question. Since I picked the appropriate mirror during installation, I don't know how to pick a new one now that I have a running system. I've been generally using aptitude with good results up til now but these 404's got me down. I'll be looking around for a way to reconfigure this thing <sigh>.
