Could someone post his /etc/apt/sources.list or tell me how do I get my own
"deb-src ..." lines? Thanks.

Here's my entry for unstable:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

It might be different for you depending on what sources are in your
sources.list.

Have you tried copying the "deb" lines and changing "deb" to "deb-src"?
This won't work for lines that refer to a cdrom; I don't know about
DVDs.

This is my sources.list:
---------------------------------------------------
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2
(20050607)]/ unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1
(20050607)]/ unstable contrib main


# deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib
-----------------------------------------------------

I don't think it is of much help here what you suggest. Thanks for your
feedback.

I wouldn't know how to adapt that to my needs. It would be more helpful if
someone of you told me how one gets those entries. Thanks for responding
though.

Go to the Debian site. They have lots of information on this.
For instance:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/a...-basico.en.html

Here's an example of what you are looking for:
# deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

deb ftp://mirrors.sunsite.dk/mirrors/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://mirrors.sunsite.dk/mirrors/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main

This works fine for 3.1 r0a Sarge, however you might want to find a closer
ftp site than Denmark. Or you may use this one.

try apt-spy to find a mirror close to where you live. My down load speed
went from 24k to 740k by using another mirror.

man apt-spy
eg:
apt-spy -d testing -a europe

My top speed is about 100 K/s, and I can achieve it with my mirrors, thanks.

There are some unofficial sources at www.apt-get.org but be warned, they
could mess up your system.

My sources list is configured now to my satisfaction. I nevertheless
appreciate your input.
