Sources.list


Hi there.

I recently re-installed Debian stable:
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 22:11:31 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Now, I am trying to install mencoder and having no luck. aptitude can't find it which means I need to find a repo which has it. I tried adding

Code:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main
to my sources.list but I receive the error:

I ought to be more patient.

Added the following to my sources.list:
Code:
deb http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ stable main
Then
Code:
# aptitude install debian-multimedia-keyring
# aptitude update
# aptitude install mencoder
Success.
