Re: Problem in Debain ftp



Your question is user-support related, and as such belongs on the
debian-user@lists.debian.org mailing list; none of the addresses which
you've sent mail to are for user support questions. [I'm Cc:'ing this
response to debian-user@, and you should follow up there if you have
additional questions.]

Sarge is no longer a supported Debian release. (This means that it
does not have security updates, and has *known* security
vulnerabilities.) You should strongly consider upgrading these
machines to lenny (which is the current stable release.)

That said, if for some reason you absolutely must run sarge,[1] you
can do so by pointing your machines at archive.debian.org instead of
mirrors.kernel.org; see sources.list(5) for details.

Finally, you don't need to install synaptic to install printer support
for your machines. Just install cups or similar.
