I installed apt and updated to the i386 distribution (doh)! So I tried deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian woody main/binary-hurd-i386 which went connected, only to complain that (from memory) /debian/dists/woody/main/binary-hurd-i386/binary-all-i386/Content.gz was not a plain file. Then a bus error. Do I have an error in my sources.list? Should it even work? Did munge things with my first mis-directed "apt-get update"? Thanks for any help, hints, references. hunter
