Hi all,
Following the FAQ instructions for enabling unstable builds, I get a ream of errors about directories that could not be found.
Is there something else you need to do in addition to what's listed in the FAQ to get unstable builds working? What have I missed?

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
It seems really silly to suggest that running "apt-get update" will solve the problems with "apt-get update".

The message is a stock message that came with apt-get.
The answer to your problem is also in the FAQ:
