Telstra BigPond (Australia) Users - quota-free apt repo

[David Ryder]

Thanks for the reply .
I can't see anywhere in synaptic to manually enter the
Settings>Repositories location. Just get a choice of download sites (I
find iinode the fastest but it is metered for me, being with bigpond.

I use the site for free iso's (and others - yes, it's great) but if I
can use it in synaptic for the daily updates that would be great.

Thanks,
David
