Well, no, at least not now when I try it. I was only looking at the end of all the response, for I can't seem to copy/paste from an xterm. However, this time did an eshell in emacs and saved the buffer that resulted from the apt-get update to a file. Here is the first few lines: Err http://ftp.br.debian.org woody/main Packages Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:3128 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) Err http://ftp.br.debian.org woody/main Release Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:3128 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) ... In the sources.list, the internet URIs are followed by CDROM URIs: rr cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-7 (20021218)] unstable/contrib Packages Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CDs News to me! So instead of apt-get install <package>, I'd use apt-cdrom install <package>? But I prefer aptitude. Would it therefore be: # aptitude-cdrom install <package>? The intial response suggests to me that I'm misconfigured somehow. Haines -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
