09061920@system:~$ sudo apt-get install fluxbox [sudo] password 09061920:  reading package lists... done building dependency tree        reading state information... done e: unable locate package fluxbox

i've unhashed

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

in /etc/apt/sources.list, i'm on slow connection don't want update 42 mb right (trust me when i'm on slow connection ).
