Re: apt sources.list not complete
You need something like this:

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib #non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib
#Security
deb ftp://security.us.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main contrib
deb-src ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main contrib

Re: apt sources.list not complete
A lot depends on how you did the install -- default or expert, and how you answered the question regarding using a mirror.
As for your working /etc/apt/sources.list, I suggest you practise using named repositories, rather than the generic terms 'stable', 'testing' or 'unstable'
Currently Lenny is the stable release, however when Squeeze becomes stable, those with the generic terms in /etc/apt/sources.list may be in for a bit of a bumpy ride..
From one of my standard boxes, running Squeeze (testing):

Thank you very much, during installation I did not use internet so thats why I did not have main repo.
thank you
thank you
Re: apt sources.list not complete
sid is always unstable so that doesn't matter one way or the other. If you're running stable then using the name rather than the generic term is absolutely the better way to go. It will prevent unpleasant surprises/problems when squeeze eventually goes stable.Bulkley wrote:Pay attention to bluesdog.

If you're running testing it depends. If you want to continue running it as a rolling release then using "testing" rather than "squeeze" is probably the better option. If you plan to transition to squeeze once it goes stable (either permanently or temporarily) then you should use the named version.
