Hi folks.. after a hiatus, I'm back to powerpc (just got a new PB G4 12" 
1.33GHz) and hence debian. I installed using the debian-installer netinst CD 
for sarge.. install had a couple problems with the bootstrap partition etc. but 
after solving that I now have a working installation.. except for apt. I tried 
a few http sources but apt is unable to update the package list. I can ping the 
server just fine but while trying to update the package list, I get an error 
saying it can't connect to the server. My source file currently has just one 
line:
 
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
 
(I've hand-edited the above so please excuse any typos)
 
Please let me know how I can get apt to work..Appreciate the help.
 
Thanks,
nirmal
