I am trying unsuccessfully to set up North American sources for system upgrades and package installations for 9.1 pro. First of all, I can't find a source for mirror sites except for initial installations. Secondly, if I try to use the URL of these sites as an on-line source for package installation, the system won't accept them. There is no guidance available as to what part of the url the program requires. Surely I am not expected to install packages from the DVD forever, otherwise, why would there be a "change package source" option? Finally, the European sources are too slow to be usable. Is apt the only solution? Charly Baker
