Should be a commented out example line in the defaults sources
file, something like:

apt freshrpms-9-i386 http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386/ updates freshrpms

with, the approriate repos and urls and whatnot of course...


basically:

apt  channel-name  servername path repo1 repo2 repo2 ... repoN

where channel-name is a localy chose name, it doesnt really matter
as long as it's unique.
