Anyone out there got a sources.list which suits the UK more than the stock Knoppix one which they could post? (Especially since ftp.de.debian.org looks to be screwed :roll: )

Change the de to uk and it should work or you could use apt-setup to add more sources also you can use apt-spy to find the fastest sites for your location and create a new sources.list you should backup the old list first in case the changes are not what you want.

Thanks Stephen -- I'll try the de to uk switch. (Backing up first in case Gvim changes more than i expect!) :wink:

you can also look on the debian site for official (uk) debian mirrors... and you can use www.apt-get.org for info about other (unofficial) mirrors.
