I'm pretty sure they are. I can't seem to check as ftp won't let me ls currently (I think that machine is still being upgraded, but maybe it just doesn't like me tonight). Q2: do i also need to have a line saying deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free for non-us update? You discovered the wonders of virtual hosting. Both non-us.debian.org and security.debian.org are on the same machine (also known as pandora.debian.org). Depending on what hostname you use to access it, you get a slightly different directory hierarchy. I'm not quite sure what your question is however. You won't get non-us security updates by putting deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main in sources.list because that is the same as the line deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main which I presume you already have. I think (and I hope somebody will correct me if I'm wrong) that as the security updates are already being provided on a non-us machine, they include non-us packages along with the regular ones. -- Steven Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will stop at nothing to reach your objective, but only because your brakes are defective.
