Hi, Steve.
If you want to reconfigure the mirrors that Apt and friends use for
repositories, you can manually edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and
just replace the name of the machine with whatever mirror you want. For
me, mirrors.kernel.org is a really good site--I will see on a regular
basis speeds in excess of 10mbits/sec. This is because at any one given
time, the machine is not using no where near the bandwidth it is
provisioned for. That machine has an 100mbit connection to the outside
world.
Bare in mind that all the configuration scripts do in installation is to
just script and write the sources.list(5) file from whatever mirror the
user chooses. So its not that hard to do. Hope this helps.

Yeah, the sources list is easy enough. I just liked the original list
I got at installation time where I could pick from valid list
addresses. You and Chuck gave me a couple solutions. I saw
kernel.org on there before and that was a likely alternate choice as I
have always had screaming speeds from there when downloading kernel
sources.
Thanks.

Well, kernel.org won out. I got all my packages installed and I even
had to go after espeak-dev to make things all right. It would be nice
if all mirrors were complete and not have these broken links.
Anyway when the packages are available the system works pretty cool.

To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
often 404 errors are caused by either an out of date mirror, or one that is
in the mids of syncing.
It can also be caused by not running an apt-get update before you install
your packages.
Lenny is a moving target so if you want reliable mirrors run testing.
Packages change so often in lenny that the packages files and the package
pool can be out of date for a time.
Testing tends to be less of a moving target; although not as up to date as
unstable.
I run Ubuntu here these days as I like the 6 monthly release cycle but i'm
not running speakup on my boxes; I ssh in from Windows boxes as the servers
are behind a closed door.

Hi,
Just wondering, what do you use under Windows that will give you decent
cursor tracking abilities within an ssh session? Because in my
experiences, cursor tracking and terminal support have major suckage in
Windows.

I use Jaws, UTF8-Teraterm pro and a small script works well.
doesn't track highlights like speakup does but it's not a pain to build into
distribution kernels like speakup is either.

To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
And who says the options at install time are necessarily valid?
I've had some of those choices non-functional.
The only way to get a high probability working mirror is to actually look up
mirrors.html on the website.
Luckily the big sites like kernel.org and mirrors.aarnet and debian.org
usually work.

Yeah, the sources list is easy enough. I just liked the original list
I got at installation time where I could pick from valid list
addresses. You and Chuck gave me a couple solutions. I saw
kernel.org on there before and that was a likely alternate choice as I
have always had screaming speeds from there when downloading kernel
sources.
Thanks.

Look at your /etc/apt/sources.list -- everything is in there and once
you change anything be sure to do an apt-get update.
