Just so you know etch is a different distribution. And m68k didn't do a proper release so for us it's etch-m68k and there's been very little security support for it (excepting openssl). > When I run apt-get update/install I get lots of errors saying tat the sources > for the apt command cant be found (dir's don't exist on the remote server). The official mirror list is at <http://www.debian.org/mirror/list>. You need to make sure m68k is actually on the mirror you're using. If this exists for you http://$mirror/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-m68k/ then sarge is on that mirror. If this exists for you http://$mirror/debian/dists/etch-m68k/ then etch-m68k is on that mirror. > What is the correct /etc/apt/sources.list server's syntax I should be using? for sarge: deb http://$mirror/debian sarge main deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main for etch: deb http://$mirror/debian etch-m68k main > Btw: the network card is a X-Surf3 and I'm able to get out to the network at > home/internet fine... Then you should be good to go. hth, stephen -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <stephen@marenka.net>
