Re: help with install of debian and speakup!?

["Tyler Littlefield" <compgeek13@gmail.com>]

OK, i went and did some research on how to install ssh. now, I am doing 
apt-get install ssh, and it is telling me the package is obsolete, or not 
found, I know I have a network connection, because I used the ping command. 
I did apt-get update, and still nothing. it said it failed to get some 
files, when I go look at /etc/apt/sources.list the only thing I see is a 
reference to the cdrom drive for some reason...
Thanks,
