Debian apt question?
I have just gotten debian installed for the 1st time and during the final stages of the install I was at a screen where I could select the http and ftp sites I wanted apt to search through. How do I get to where I can add more sites to the apt configuration file?

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list (i.e., with a text editor).
E.g.: deb ftp://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free

You can use netselect-apt to find the best Debian mirror for you. You'll probably have to "apt-get install netselect" first though.
