Subject: When apt-cache search 'something' fails to find something (sources.list)
When you need to add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list how do you find the IP address (http/ftp) needed?

For example, you want to add Openoffice.org. Bad example 'cause it already is found but, lets say is isn't. How would you find a repository (I think that is what it is called)? I hove found a ".deb" for Openoffice.org but is that all I need to point to?

Thanks

George
