If you omit the components (main, contrib, non-free, etc.) and end the distribution part of the sources.list line with a slash, then apt will not try to add 'dists'. > debian/ > stable/ > woody/ > contrib/ > installed/ > main/ > non-free/ For example: deb http://people.debian.org/~elphick/repository/debian woody/main/ It might do no harm for Oliver to add a 'dists' symlink pointing to 'debian' there, though, since the repository is laid out with components. Otherwise you're going to need several sources.list lines if you want contrib and non-free as well. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
