!Newbie Alert! According to the sources.list man page, "distribution can specify an exact path, in which case the components must be omitted and distribution must end with a slash".
I must not understand what this means. I've used Netscape to browse to the "Packages.gz" file at "ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1.1/distribution/deb/binary-i386/", (to verify the path) and have specified this in my sources.list file; everything in the file is commented out except for this one line: deb ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1.1/distribution/deb/binary-i386 but when I try to do an "apt-get update" I get the error that I have a "Malformed line 8 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)". Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED] KC5ENO - Amateur Radio: When all else fails. Linux - Finally! A real OS for the Intel PC!
