Ahh, this brings up a point that has bothered me about debian. Well
actually in this case, two points.
* all the deb-src entries i tried to add to my sources.list give me
errors when I try to get the source. What is the url for sources? This
is my latest attempt:
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib free
also tried woody, main, etc.
* how can one keep up on what the latest url's are for debian packages
etc. Is there a single spot where one can look? Or is this knowledge I
will only gain when I use the force?
thx
