Read through this guide upto step 12 first, it was written for ubuntu but should help familiarise you with the process: http://www.techspot.com/community/topic … er.151235/

Use http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ to make a USB thumb drive to boot up from. From there you will be given options to fromat and install on your HDD. If you don't have a spare thumbdrive or SD card then you can also burn the .iso to a CD.

Thanks guys. Before I read this I decided to try basing my sources files off of this gen: http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/
Which gave the output:

deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

I backed up my old sources list and ran sudo apt-get update and everything went smooth. /var/lib/apt/lists is definitely useful to know about though.

Cheers.

Hi, for no apparent raisin after I rebooted scrolling has changed to a pagedown behaviour rather than scanning lines. This applies to iceweasel, terminator, banshee, and just about anything else I've tried.

I use XFCE as my window manager, I run nvidia drivers 319.76, and LightDM as my session manager.
Installed but unused are: AwesomeWM and SLiM.

I've got what seems to be an unrelated problem with apt-get not updating here: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=31951

but both issues did arise after I ran out of space on /

Thanks.

Edit: Problem is intermittent.

Hi, I was trying to install wine and ran into a missing package error, so I ran apt-get update the output runs:

...

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I upgrade to Jessie by following a guide that had me edit /etc/apt/sources.list here is my entire file:

## CRUNCHBANG
## Compatible with Debian Wheezy, but use at your own risk.
# deb http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main
# deb-src http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main

## DEBIAN
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free

## DEBIAN SECURITY
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

This problem surfaced after I ran out of space in / and ran apt-get clean & apt-get autoclean I'd just like to check my sources are set correct.

Thanks.
