Welcome :) You can specify them during the install. The installer calls 'modconf' which lets you pick the modules you want, specify parameters etc. This is almost certainly still installed, so try running it as root. The file you need to edit is /etc/apt/sources.list It should look something like as follows: ### Start of /etc/apt/sources.list # UK Debian Mirror deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free # Helix GNOME deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main deb-src http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main # All those nasty things the US don't want us to have deb http://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US main contrib non-free ### End of /etc/apt/sources.list or just edit the file that's there to start with. To completely upgrade your distribution, run: apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade but remember that this will mean you're running unstable, and things can (and certainly do) break from time to time.
