Instead, how about: deb ftp://your.nearby.debian.mirror/debian potato main contrib non-free deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://security.debian.org/ potato/updates main contrib non-free and deb-src ftp://your.nearby.debian.mirror/debian RELEASE main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US RELEASE/non-US main contrib non-free (In the deb-src lines, use either stable, testing, or unstable where I've indicated RELEASE) -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
