Re: updating with aptitude
Quoting Harry Rickards <hrickards@l33tmyst.com>:
...
To find the fastest debian mirror for you, you can use the netselect
tool. Once installed (aptitude install netselect-apt_, you can just
use the command 'netselect-apt lenny' (or 'netselect-apt -n lenny'
to include non-free software), and netselect will find the fastest
mirror and add it to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
...
Forgot to mention that netselect will put the mirror's in a
sources.list file in the local directory, so to have them put in
/etc/apt/sources.list, you'd have to do a 'cd /etc/apt' before running
netselect.
Many thanks
Harry
