Yes thanks,

deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

works fine for the main repo, I was having problems getting an invocation
of the security line to work though. However after some further
investigation

deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security etch/updates main contrib

seems to work ok.

You expect me to read man pages ?!?

:)

Actually I wasn't even aware there was a man page for sources.list so I'll
have to remember that for the future.

Thanks,


Andy
