do u have more repositories for linspire?


Does anyone have any repositories I can add to /etc/atp/sources.list in Linspire. I've read a few places that Linspire uses standard debian packages and has two Debian packages by default. That is not enough software though. Is there more I can add?

No, I am asking for the repositories. I do not have Debian, so I do not have a list of the repositories. Can you give them to me? Linspire comes with two Debian repositories in it's sources.list. One does not work, so only one does. That is what is not enough.

Why not ?

The 2 repositories included with Linspire are the DEFAULT debian repositories for Debian stable. As I posted in another thread the 2nd one that isn't working has been removed by Debian. so it only leaves you with 1 debian repository. And that 1 repositorie should give you access to the 15490 packages.

the default Debian repository list looks like this :
Code:
  deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
  deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
  deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
now the non-us one has been removed since Debian Sarge went stable (like I said before) so that only leaves you with 2 and the security one only has security fixes and is ONLY needed if you use Debian stable (if you have Unstable or Testing you can remove it).

What I posted in another thread was the mirror (in Belgium) that I use to get my packages but they contain the exact same software (unless when it's a mirror that runs behind on the official Debian servers). It's also advisable to find a mirror in your location on debian.org since they might be faster then the crowded Debian servers.
