It depends on whether you're installing from CD or ftp or what. I'm on an ethernet LAN connected to a T1, so I use apt-ftp and pull my stuff from the network. My sources.list looks like: deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian unstable main contrib non-free Notice that I'm pulling from unstable; you might not want to if you don't want to run the risk of hosing your system. After setting your sources.list, run apt-get update in order to update apt's local list of available packages, then run apt-get install <packagename> in order to install whatever package.
