419815 2006-01-10 10:29:00 I want to know how to add the NZ Debian FTP to the list of repositories for the synaptic/apt-get utility for Ubuntu. I'm hoping it will not eat up my bandwidth.

Can someone help me with this, preferably in an easy and simple explanation please. :xmouth:

Debian @ Local Debian mirrors (debian.co.nz)
