Good point - I forgot to add the line back (I have a local mirror so
don't use CDs).
However it wouldn't cause the problem he described, which was a failure
to find a particular file in the *online* repository. My *guess* is the
file his system was looking for was no longer there - apt-get update
*should* have fixed that.
I just thought it strange that he should be getting served a different
IP address to what I get. Possibly that's his ISP's DNS cache.
CDROM/DVDs in the sources.list are ignored if the online repositories
are later versions
Kind regards
