Yup ;-) Here's what my file left me with after using the 1st Sarge CDROM (3.1rc1 at that time). But; I have it (actually) commented out (a '#' prefixed to that line), since I told the installer to no longer look there anymore. ~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main [...] the above would be for Sarge - you may want to add 'contrib' and 'nonfree' to the end (not sure). Ex; deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main contrib non-free Review 'man apt-cdrom' Regards __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
