deb http://www.dipconsultants.com/debian etch main
localhost:/home/mikef#


Can I add:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/

to the file and then do e.g. apt-get dist-upgrade in order to download the
r1 modifications to the amd64 Etch 4.0 r0 I am currently using?


Do I need a bit more than this to do it?

Regards

Michael Fothergill

You should uncomment this line so that you get security updates.

That would be ftp.uk.debian.org/debian etch main

Yes, but doesn't the dipconsultants repository do that?

Hello.

You should have the above deb* lines uncommented to get timely security
updates - unless you have a good reason not to use them...

Below is the full line that should be enough:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib

'contrib' is optional, if you use any packages from the contrib section.

Good luck!
