Thanks Sarah,

The sources.list checks out fine. The error I get is:

Need to get 332kB of archives. After unpacking 1233kB will be used.
0% [Connecting to 10.100.182.1 (10.100.182.1)]

10.100.182.1 is the proxy at work so this must be in the system
somewhere. I need to change this address.

Thanks

Paul.
