It depends on whether you're installing from CD or ftp or what. I'm on
an ethernet LAN connected to a T1, so I use apt-ftp and pull my stuff
from the network. My sources.list looks like:
deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian unstable main contrib non-free
Notice that I'm pulling from unstable; you might not want to if you
don't want to run the risk of hosing your system.
After setting your sources.list, run
apt-get update
in order to update apt's local list of available packages, then run
apt-get install <packagename>
in order to install whatever package.
