Re: upgrading from slink to potato
Hello Jim.
First, the debian-mentors list is for package maintainers and
wanna-be-package maintainers. General questions such as this are normally
aimed at debian-user.
Second, you are probably needing sources.lists lines more like these:
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
have fun :)
