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!

The United States relaxed the legal restrictions that made non-US necessary a few years ago, so all of the packages from non-US have been moved into the main archive. Someone on one of the lists I'm on posted a link about this recently but I can't seem to find it at the moment. If anyone else has the link handy it would be appreciated. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.

Non_US is no longer needed or used. You should remove them (or comment them out) from your sources.list file. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
