Where is that exactly? That is, what does it say? You should have some relevant lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list, depending on what version and what mirror you want to use. I personally have deb http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian sid main contrib You might want "sarge" instead of "sid" for the stable version. Then do 'apt-get update' to update apt's indexes, then 'apt-get install package' should work. I personally prefer lftp over plain netkit-ftp. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
