If you have broadband, gwdg.de is less that optimal in speed. Go to ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/ to see what is available. I use base funktronics kde mozilla packman packman-i686 suser-rbos suser-tcousin security update (usr-local-bin or gnome, but not both) wine (xorg or xfree86, but not both). Another fast apt repository is ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/. It is not as extensive. Notice here "update" is named "updates". I use it for base, security and updates, take them out of the list for uni-bielefeld.de. I never include the *-prpm folders because they are patch rpm's that I had rather not use. As mentioned by Ken, edit /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor that does NOT word wrap the lines. Apt-get will not handle broken lines; it thinks it has found an unrecognizable command.
