Hi, I just started using Debian. I'm reading the APT HOWTO.
In section 2.3 of that document, a suggestion is given to use "netselect-apt stable" to automatically build a sources.list. I've tries this, but it seems to to work: the output of running 'netselect-apt stable' is the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Retrieving the list of mirrors from www.debian.org... --19:31:05-- http://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full => `mirrors_full' Resolving www.debian.org... done.
