Re: configure sources.list



I did the following to work around it;

apt-get install wget
wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-misc-nonfree_20160824-1_all.deb

md5sum firmware-misc-nonfree_20160824-1_all.deb
dpkg -i firmware-misc-nonfree_20160824-1_all.deb
apt-get install -f

but it like the automated version.
