That's why I think this list is so great ;) I had no idea, never even thought about it. Although, the example I gave above is from my servers which run plain vanilla woody - no gui and I don't think there is any non-free stuff on them. Time to google to verify that. My sid workstation has the right deal, I think: deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free Regards Clive -- Byte-Night 2004 ... helping the young homeless .. please visit: https://www.bmycharity.com/clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
