Goodness, who told you to do this? ;-) The official instructions are at http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-resources and say: These are the sources.list(5) lines for experimental: deb http://ftp.xy.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main deb-src http://ftp.xy.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main It'd be useful to post a list of packages that're useful to install since indiscriminately installing all of experimental is a bad idea. I don't have access to an X 4.3 box right now, perhaps someone else could post that? -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
