Thanks. It works now.

Code:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted universe multiverse

You know, since I'm dual booting, I haven't even tried making those work under Debian 6. However, I'm trying to figure out an issue with my setup, which is when I shutdown from within Mint, sometimes the machine will not turn off. The screen will be blank but the Power LED remains on.
