howdy guys I'll try to be a bit more specific. I'm attempting to get a full system going from the base slink. I just got a modem the other day and got it to ping my isp, but running apt-get update produces (somthing close to) the following results:
get http://http.us.debian.org stable/contrib Packages 0% [connecting to http.us.debian.org] error http://http.us.debian.org stable/contrib Packages could not open... so I'm connected, but apt can't get (no pun intended!) to the urls listed in the sources list. tried putting debian in /etc/hosts.allow, but that didn't do it. any ideas? Given access to my computer, most of you guys could fix this in about 15 seconds. Thanks! -tf
