Your sources.list only contains a single entry (that isn't a comment) and it is for the CD you installed from. Most likely that CD does not contain the bridge-utils package and hence apt does not know about it. Certianly the netinst does not. Add a debian mirror to your sources.list and use that instead of the CD. For example: # - For debian security deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security squeeze/updates main contrib non-free # - For debian main deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free Skipping the apt config when doing a netinstall is not a valid option. Why would you even consider skipping that? It makes no sense. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
