netselect-apt not working?
Hi,
I just started using Debian. I'm reading the APT HOWTO.
In section 2.3 of that document, a suggestion is given to use
"netselect-apt stable" to automatically build a sources.list.
I've tries this, but it seems to to work: the output of running
'netselect-apt stable' is the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Done.

The generated mirrors_full file is 0 bytes in length.
The geenrated sources.list looks like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
# the main Debian packages. Uncomment the deb-src line if you
# want 'apt-get source' to work with most packages.
deb stable main contrib non-free
# deb-src stable main contrib non-free
# the non-US Debian packages. Uncomment the deb-src line if you
# want 'apt-get source' to work with non-US packages.
deb stable/non-US main contrib non-free
# deb-src stable/non-US main contrib non-free

When I look at http://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full with a web
browser, an empty page is served.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
