That is the machine behind my firewall on which I am running my own apt-proxy on. Don't use that one. You can't get it to anyway. I had a brain freeze, sorry, and pasted the proxy line from my sources.list instead of the real one. But it does give you immediate insight into how the proxy works. :-) Hopefully you figured out that I meant to say use the global non-US, non-free location. deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US non-free Then install 'msttcorefonts'. apt-get install msttcorefonts And insert all of the discussion about using non-free and non-US packages. Generally non-free is a bad idea and disliked. It is why they are are painful to install. If they were free then they could be bundled with Debian. Caveat Emptor. Bob
