Adding repositories in Debian
Hi,
I have a minimal installation of Debian Lenny. I want to install additional software. When I tried as root user, I got an error message saying that the package could not be found. I think the problem is that I haven't added the repositories. What are the repositories I should add to my sources.list file? Where can I find the list of repositories?
Thanks & Regards,
Babu

Re: Adding repositories in Debian
paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
Then take a look at the link in my signature.

nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Comment out any cdrom entries at the top with #. Uncomment any section for stable updates at the top.
Add (you can substitute a local mirror):
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main
or
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
(main, contrib, non-free are different repos for different packages)
apt-get update
apt-get safe-upgrade
apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment gdm
