apt-problems
Hi,
I am a linux newbie and am attempting my first real Linux installation
from scratch. I have only the first cd of Debian woody dist and have
managed to install a very basic system from this including X.
I am behind the firewall of my University. There exists an archive with
the full resource of Debian behind the firewall that I would like to get
access to using apt-get inorder to complete a full package installation
of my system.
I have configured my ethernet card and DNS lookup successfully and the
file structure of the ftp site listed in my sources.list is correct.
My sources.list looks like:
-----
deb ftp://archive.sun.ac.za/debian/non-US woody/non-US main non-free
deb ftp://archive.sun.ac.za/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://archive.sun.ac.za/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://archive.sun.ac.za/debian/non-US woody/non-US main contrib
non-free

When I run apt-get update I get partial success with the following result:

Then when I attempt an apt-get install I get the following which
predictably isnt a pretty result:
