When I "apt-setup" for "ftp" the console hangs

[Thomas Kaiser]

Why you don't edit the sources.list file manually?
(/etc/apt/sources.list)

Here is mine:
#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 4.10 _Warty Warthog_ - Preview i386 Binary-1
(20041020)]/ unstable main restricted


## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the
network
#deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted
#deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted

#deb ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/ubuntu warty main restricted
#deb-src ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/ubuntu warty main restricted

Just copy paste the needed lines in your sources.list file. If the line
has a hash (#) as starting character, remove it.
