For Free Software: deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main For Sources deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main Getting contrib, non-free, and their corresponding sources is left as an exercise for the reader. Note that Etch has a number of known, unpatched security vulnerabilities and receives no real support from the Debian project. Moving to Lenny should be made a priority; any time spend working with Etch should be (at least) matched with the same amount of time pursuing an upgrade to Lenny. (Even Lenny is "oldstable", but at least you should get 10+ months of security support on that and it's the first step in upgrading to Squeeze anyway.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
