Re: Apt-get Connection refused

there should be a ftp://ftp.au.debian.org server. Brian appears to be using 
the sources automatically setup by Knoppix which is a German distro. I know 
because I've just installed it to the hard drive and am about ready to tweak 
the sources :)

BTW, any hints on getting 2.6.0-test2 up and running? :)

Cheers,

Damien
