Hi All,

LOOK OUT, got some time off, and we all know what happens when I have time off!

The story so far. After windows self destructed, I refomatted my entire hardrive. I've reinstalled Win XP ON /dev/hda1 (Funny how I feel compelled to keep reinstalling Crap software on the basis of how much I paid for it!) I've created a 7.5GB Partition /dev/hda2, for debian and will add /dev/hda3 to house either redhat 7.3 (My old Fav) or create a really big /Home Directory.I'm thinking redhat purely so that I have a Linux GUI to use... windows is strictly gaming ... no surfing, no working.

I've reached the part of Debian install where I feed one CD after another while it builds its sources list. It then says "Would you like to add another source".

Damn right I do (in this quest to get my woody "gui" going with Xfree86 4.2)

I select edit sources list by hand
I type http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386/./

I recieve the following error message E: Type 'http, etc,etc,/i386/./' is not known on line 9 in source list /etc/apt etc, etc.

If I change this to
deb http://people/debian etc, etc

I recieve and error message that line 9 of /etc/apt/sou.... is malformed.

What now?

Regards

Mick
