    Need sources.list

    Can someone point me to a sources.list file I can use. I'm new to Debian
    and need some help with this. There isn't much in the file on my system.

    I have another problem. KDE didn't install. I used the 5.0.2 kde cd. I also
    wanted to install the 2nd and 3rd CDs, but it didn't ask for them either.

    Thanks

    This is my sources.lst from a stock AntiX 8.2 install. It has a mixture of Mepis and Debian repositories. Based on Debian Lenny right now. You can use what you need, (at your own risk) if nobody comes up with anything better. [U]Make sure not to use any of the Mepis sources repositories[U]

    Code:
    # See sources.list(5) for more information
    
    # Note:If you want maximum stability, only use the stable repos.
    # If you want to install kde3.5, you MUST only use the stable repos.
    
    # Mepis8
    deb ftp://ftp.mepis.com/mepis/ mepis-8.0 main

    Debian Sidux on the end I can use but I am not to enable it till I run a smxi script as root outside of GUI. That is why those repos are commented out.

    If you want to use the other cds, use apt-cdrom.

    My giant sources.list covers everything and the kitchen sink.
