The OP is tilting at windmills. The example I posted has been used every three hours of my waking day for the past 2½ years. It fails when my cable company fails. The OP has quoted some hearsay off the web, period. And not a single reference with it. The OP calls this "pre-startup research", and will "verify [ … ] your suggestions" when the Oracle has handed down "the correct sources.list". Until then, the Buster machine will stay de-activated, the OP remains safe, and we await the Oracle. (Those who know their Classical history will realise that advice pulled from the Internet can be as ambiguous as the Oracle always was.) Cheers, David.
