You seem to be a little confused. potato is currently unstable, slink is stable. Both have sections main, contrib, and non-free (slink also has non-US, while potato has non-US/main, non-US/contrib, and non-US/non-free). In either case, make sure you're using the apt method in dselect option 0. Then put one of these in /etc/apt/sources.list. # For stable deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US deb-src ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free # For unstable deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free Read the apt docs for more information. -- finger for GPG public key. 29 Nov 1999 - new email address added to gpg key
