Generating an /etc/apt/sources.list - was: wiki for debian-hams package maintainence

[gena@genaj.plus.com]

Hi

Whoops, I should have changed the subject line.  But the newbie wanted
to view ax25 packages and couldn't because they were not included upon
DVD 1.  Thus his apt database didn't know of the ax25 packages.

Thus I wrode:

I wonder if apt-spy may be alittle easier?
