Thanks a lot, and sorry for asking an already-answered question. I went and checked debian.org (http://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full) for the list of mirrors and nothing there about what you are telling me. That's why I posted my message. I even used netselect-apt to regenerate a sources.list. I guess that documentation needs time to adjust to major changes like these. ib __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
