Re: [LUG] Lindows OS 4.5

 

Hi Grant

Thanks once again. Well things seem a whole lot easier than I thought. Typed apt-get update and of it went. Then typed apt-get install synaptic and its gone away again. Will wait for it to finish before cheering too loudly!

Now what's the best dvd player? A topic for another email!

Forgot to mention: if you're unfamiliar, the format of the sources.list file is as such (more info from "man sources.list")


<type> <location> <tree> <branch>

So, my sources.list file, using the Debian Sid (unstable) tree is as follows:

deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable contrib
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-US/contrib
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-US/main
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-US/non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-US/contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-US/main
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-US/non-free

If you use the "stable" tree then there's also some security sources you can use. Not sure if there available for testing, though.

HTH some more.

Grant.
