I have feh running off of a hard drive, and it's running fine. (In fact, I'm posting off the box now.)

I want to install feh. I don't want a network share. I would really like to 'apt-get install feh' it.

When I try to to do that, I get this:
dsl@box:~$ sudo apt-get install feh

Suggestions?

change the /etc/apt/source.list

make the first line
deb < http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian > woody main contrib non-free

then run apt-get update
the run apt-get install feh
