Apt-Setup Issue

[clivesay]

Hoping someone can help a beginner......

I am trying to run Apt-Setup in Knoppix 4 kids. I have chosen about every mirror option possible but receive the same error at the end:

Failed to access the debian archive

It tells me that apt gave the following error but nothing is listed. I go back through the menu options but nothing seems to work.

Help please!

Knoppix 4 kids? I can't even keep up with all of the variants anymore.

As root, edit /etc/apt/sources.list. The following should work.

deb ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

If you don't want testing then just change all instances of testing to stable. Don't forget to do apt-get update (as root) after adding these sources.
