That should work fine (well, modulo 'free' not existing; do you mean 'non-free'?). Have you run 'apt-get update' (or a dselect or atptitude update) before trying to run 'apt-get source'?

You can also look on http://packages.debian.org/, or in debian/pool/main/l/lm-sensors (where lm-sensors is the source package name, 'l' is its first letter, and library source packages begin with 'libl' or whatever) on your favorite Debian mirror. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
