Goodness, who told you to do this? ;-) The official instructions are at
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-resources and say:
These are the sources.list(5) lines for experimental:
deb http://ftp.xy.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main
deb-src http://ftp.xy.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main
It'd be useful to post a list of packages that're useful to install since
indiscriminately installing all of experimental is a bad idea.
I don't have access to an X 4.3 box right now, perhaps someone else
could post that?
