Does anyone maintain a current sources.list
I ask as the one on 3.3 is out of date.
I appreciate that I can simply comment out the broken repositories, replace them with the correct ones if I can locate them, but I wondered if there was an official / semi official updated sources.list available anywhere.
Cheers
Check out netselect-apt

Cheers, I'll give that a try.
I just did apt-get update. Then I did netselect-apt and was told "bash: netselect-apt: command not found" :(
So far I have not edited my sources.list (should I? I 've looked in these forums and have so far not found a satisfactory answer; I know I should go off reading about the debian.org documentation about apt-get but it's late ;))
any hints?
I'm really very new to Knoppix & Linux but here are a few suggestions. Try apt-cache search netselect-apt & apt-cache policy netselect-apt. "bash: netselect-apt: command not found" as far as I know means that it is not installed. I use Synaptic Package Manager which is a graphical front end for apt-get & makes finding & installing packages very easy for a newbie. Also here is a link for netselect-apt: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/netselect-apt

which sources.list should I be editing? locate gives me three choices:
/etc/apt/sources.list
/mnt/old_root/etc/apt/sources.list
/mnt/old_root/KNOPPIX/etc/apt/sources.list
I think it's the first one. And I gather I should be removing lines that give me errors when I apt-get update?
