Adding extra sections to apt-get
 
This is likely a very stupid noobish question, but I can't seem to find the answer? How do I add extra parts of the debian repositories to the sources.list file. I need to add contrib and non-free to get some packages that I need.

Make the pertainent line in /etc/apt/sources.list look like this:
Code:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
Of course if you're using "stable" (you shouldn't be), you'll change the word "testing" to "stable"
