When you edit the sources list you need to know the directory that the
DEB packages are at. The reason you got a 404 error is because its going
a (effectively)
wget http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/sources.list which doesn't exist :) You
need to know the exact url for the apt-get repository at blueyonder
