sources.list
hi iam running into a problem. when i run apt-get update, it gets stuck in 99%. the line is ftp2.debian.de:80
i uncommented all the lines in my sources.list, which had the above link, and it seems ok. BUT i can not get millions of packages due to that. could someone tell me some links, so i could substitute them? here is my /etc/apt/sources.list

Well - I don't use the debian-installer, and don't know how it works.
But I know how you may change lines, which match a certain pattern.
First we copy the file to have a backup:
Code:
cp sources.list sources.list.sik
then we call sed, an not-interactive editor, which rolls commands on files:
Code:
sed 's/^#deb/deb/g' sources.list.sik > sources.list
The command is enclosed in "'".
it consists of 4 parts, separated by slashes:
The command, 's', meaning substitue
The first parameter, - what shall be substituted
The second parameter - by what shall param 1 be replaced?
The scope of this command: 'g', globally replacement (not only once).
The first parameter needs some explanation:
'^' means: at the beginning of a line.
'#deb' means '#deb', together it means 'Substitute the String '#deb' if found at the beginning of the line.
It will be replaced by 'deb' without the leading '#'.
Sed is of cause a stupid automate, and doesn't understand anything of the file, so it would replace as well '#debil' or '#deborah' but not '# deb-' because there is a space before the 'deb' and not '#Deb' because of the uppercase 'D'.
The command will be performed with the backup as input, and the output is written to the file 'sources.lst'.

You could run "netselect" or "netselect-apt" to find mirrors closer to you. I usually use the german mirrors as they are fast enough, but switched to finnish ones a while back to even out the traffic. Not much I suppose but the thought must count
