D'oh! Sorry about that. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and duplicate each line,
replacing
"deb" with "deb-src". Then it will get the lists of both binary (deb)and
source (deb-src)
packages.
Try man apt-get, or man sources.list, they should explain everything.

The right patches (though not necessarily the absolute most current ones).
Presumably the
same ones Chris sent (though I haven't checked).

Yeah, that's the abbreviated Debian description for browsing through in dselect
(another
useful tool to learn, though others might steer you more toward console-apt or
maybe even
gnome-apt).
Welcome to the wonderful world of Debian... A touch expert-friendly, but once
you're an
expert it will feel so natural, you can never go back.
