Hi all,
I'm trying to install install flashplugin-nonfree on Wheezy 64 bit on
a dual core AMD, and it's been failing continuously. The error message
is something to the effect that it can't reach mirrors.rit.edu, and in
fact I cannot ping rit.edu, and when I traceroute to rit.edu it gets as
far as:
vl-5.car2.Buffalo1.Level3.net (4.69.141.146) 262.192 ms 261.916 ms
262.110 ms
and then gives me all stars out to the max 30 hops.
So I'm temporarily assuming the root cause is outside anything on my
LAN or cable modem. The following is my current /etc/apt/sources.list.
==========================================================
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.5.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 NETINST
Binary-1 20140426-13:35]/ wheezy main

Therefore I would assume I need to add another mirror to
my /etc/apt/sources.list. How would I find such mirrors?
there's a list of mirrors here:
http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
and some reports about them, in directories under here:
http://mirror.debian.org/
Do I just put them below my corresponding rit.edu entries?
sure, if you want the rit.edu ones to take precedence.
man sources.list
Can I leave the rit.edu entries intact?
sure, if you like.
Until today, rit.edu has served me admirably. Is there some sort of
command I should run to add a mirror set, or do I just edit
sources.list?
that's what sed has the -i option for.
-wes
ps. sorry about the no-caps. shift key too tricky. gotta run.
Thanks,
