Russ,
I had similar questions about updating.
If you check
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200312/thrd12.html
and do a search for the thread 'keeping Debian up to date and checking
the version number' you should find my original posting to this mailing
list with some good replies from some of the guys, errr, sorry, people,
here.
In addition, the command 'apt-setup' will configure your sources.list
for you and is nicely menu driven.
If you prefer to use a sources.list with the server that I use for
troubleshooting (I am in the uk and use mirror.ac.uk) then check the
thread above for my sources.list file I included in my original mail.
Once you know it works, though, I suggest you change the sources.list
using apt-setup to use servers more local to yourself.
Let us know how it goes!
Kind regards,
Adam Barton.
