    Repositories question

    Hi folks,


    Ubuntu 8.04


    I have only one entry on /etc/apt/source.list
    Code:
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main

    Now I need to make the package sources pointing to main multiverse restricted universe repositories.


    Please advise whether I add follows on that file;
    Code:
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted multiverse universe 
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted multiverse universe 
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main restricted multiverse universe 
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main restricted multiverse universe 
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted multiverse universe 
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted multiverse universe 
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main restricted multiverse universe 
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main restricted multiverse universe
    TIA


    Edit:

    No desktop is running. Only a base OS. I'm building a mail server on it.

    Use mirrors instead of the slow archive.

    Check this site out, select a mirror in a preffered country and click on it.
    The next page will show what to put in the sources.list.
    And here is a handy site for those with a desktop.
    Also, below is mine with my favorite mirrors for more guidance on how it should look.
    Code:
    # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)]/ intrepid main restricted
    # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
    # newer versions of the distribution.
    
    deb http://ubuntu.mirror.rafal.ca/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted
    deb-src http://ubuntu.mirror.rafal.ca/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted
    
    ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
    ## distribution.
