A quick Google search revealed a post of *mine* from 2007 stating it is in the base-config package. AFAIR base-config was the second stage of the installer for sarge (you had to run that at the console after the first reboot, to set-up the timezone, apt, etc.) . Etch already had a one-stage install; base-config was merged with the first stage. What are you trying to achieve? If you need some interface to change sources.list try synaptic ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
