Let's assume your software sources are in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, the most common location. You will have to launch a text editor with sudo and change the
http://debian.net parts of the addresses so they appear like this:
Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main
These three lines should be enough to get started with Debian. The contrib and non-free sections can be added to the end of each of the lines if you need anything from them, such as Adobe Flash, as in
Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
For now, comment out any other line in that file with a # at the start of the line, save, and
Ok so I updated my sources list with the deb's you noted above (I commented out the others), then ran the apt-get update command, here is the output.
