Thanks. I just finally got around to trying this. Here is what my sources.list file wound up looking like: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://http.us.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 http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free # deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian/ woody non-free # deb http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/openoffice unstable main contrib # OpenOffice deb http://www.mx1.ru/~chris/openoffice unstable main contrib # Java deb ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/ woody non-free But when I try to get dselect to update now I get: Hit http://http.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Release Failed to fetch ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/dists/woody/non-free/binary-i386/Packages Unable to fetch file, server said 'Can't build data connection: Connection refused.

This _might_ be because my machine is behind a firewall that requires ftp transfers to be done in passive mode.
