Now that the standard Debian mirror system supports amd64, (apt/dpkg) take care of getting you the correct packages for your architecture... I use [in /etc/apt/sources.list], where 'unstable'(sid) is the release set that I use, you should stick with what ever release you currently have...
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free I use 'apt-get update' to update my package lists, and 'apt-get upgrade' to upgrade my packages... and 'apt-get install <packageName>' to install packages Also, check out the debian package 'newbiedoc' for lots of good info on 'apt' and other good things lots of luck **joachimp 2006/5/11, Alexander Samad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Finaly found the amd64 mailing list. Browsing through the mailing list archives I noticed that there are several locations to point my apt sources.lst I have 2 machines running amd64 , 1 I have setup with apt-proxy (what are other people using ?) and I point to http://amd64.debian.net/debian but I was reading that I should be using the normal deb archive locations for example http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian which is what I use for my i386 machine so what do I use both the former for the older packages and the later for etch ie unstable packages ??
