A sources.list stable for squeeze. My version: 2.6.32-5-686
I would like to ask for someone to give me a sources.list file example that I could copy paste to mine to have stable updates on my pc...
I am sorry for making such a boring question for you troubleshooters out there but I need help as I was installed a sources.list that is old and I changed everything in the sources.list that said lenny to squeeze.
Through the Debian mirror list, I put together an example using some north american mirrors. Not all will have all five types of mirrors listed in this example, usually by clicking on a link in the Debian mirror list, click "parent directory", many sites will have the different sections on that page, click on the one you want, copy the URL and paste it in your sources list. Go to some of these sites and click on "parent directory" to see an example.
Distribution: Debian Wheezy, Jessie, Sid/Experimental, playing with LFS.

Where are you located?
As craigeveil suggested please post your current list so we can see what it's like. If you have just changed lenny to squeeze there shouldn't be to much trouble IF your list was a basic list.
You could also look at this thread to see if it helps.

If you want to give this a try. Debian Source List Generator First make a back up of you current /etc/apt/sources.list then give it a try. You can see what different ones you can add or what might interest you. Of course you don't need to add all of them. I used this when I installed Squeeze and I have had no issue with it. Here is my sources.list you can look at as an example.
