Progress so far... 1) I got the new computer running: Linux vega1 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 11 17:24:18 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux 2) I can run X ( No screen after boot! I needed to edit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf to options radeon modeset=0) 3) I can run LXDE 4) http://www.trinitydesktop.org times out. So here is /etc/apt/sources.list #------------------------------- deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ wheezy main deb-src http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ wheezy main deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ squeeze main deb-src http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ squeeze main #------------------------------------
5) I get the following:
#--------------------- root@vega1:~>apt-get install tdebase-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

------ and so on, for about 20 lines ...
...

Clearly, I have got the wrong end of the stick somewhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
