Here's how you edit it:
Code:
# editor /etc/apt/sources.list
Here's my sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main

# deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main
# deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main
Hope this helps. If not, what's my suggestion missing?

open the file /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor? knoppix usually has a bunch of sources listed...
