RE: Two questions about /etc/apt/sources.list
thanks for your help.
basicaly, the following three line is good enough to keep my potato debian
up to date?
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
(#for standard us debian)
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free (#for non-us debian)
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free (# for
security update)
the last line is for BOTH standard us debian update AND non-us debian
update, right?
good day
Mo

I'm pretty sure they are. I can't seem to check as ftp won't let me ls
currently (I think that machine is still being upgraded, but maybe it just
doesn't like me tonight).

You discovered the wonders of virtual hosting. Both non-us.debian.org and
security.debian.org are on the same machine (also known as
pandora.debian.org). Depending on what hostname you use to access it, you
get a slightly different directory hierarchy. I'm not quite sure what your
question is however. You won't get non-us security updates by putting
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main
in sources.list because that is the same as the line
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main
which I presume you already have. I think (and I hope somebody will correct
me if I'm wrong) that as the security updates are already being provided on
a non-us machine, they include non-us packages along with the regular ones.

You will stop at nothing to reach your objective, but only because your
brakes are defective.
