Rather than editing /etc/apt/sources.list by hand, you can take the
user-friendly route:


start Synaptic:

     System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manger


in Synaptic, select the Repository configuration:

    Settings -> Repositories


Click on the "Add" button and select the various components.
