I don't remember ;-) Are you saying that ftp.xy.debian.org is preferable to merkel.debian.org, or that there's a better way than "apt-get install -t experimental"? I thought I read somewhere that apt-get won't install from experimental unless you explicitly use "-t experimental", but I can't find that anymore (and it's not mentioned in the official instructions). > 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
