Non-Free Repository


Hi All,

Just want to get the address for the Debian non-free repository. I've heard talk of it but can't find an exact address on the Web. Help appreciated.

Just add "non-free" to the end of the main repository line in /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian etch main non-free
