Good point! Try the following: 1. Save your /etc/apt/sources.list file as /etc/apt/sources.list.old! 2. Make a new one containing only the following line: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free (and maybe the first line describing the DVD.) 3. Try apt-get update now! 4. If it works, you may add the contents of your old sources.list file line by line, but I suggest adding only this repository: deb ftp://ftp.{two-letter country code}.debian.org/debian/ stable contrib main non-free It has pymol :-) Good luck! -- Szia: Nyizsa. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
