Chris;

Am I doing something wrong. I followed the directions and get hungup  
at updating repositories. It says "could not download all repositories"

"http://www.linixcnc.org/emc2.1/dists/dapper/emc2.1/binar-I386/ 
Packages.gz: 404 not found
"http://www.linixcnc.org/emc2.1/dists/dapper/emc2.1/Source/Sources.gz  
404 not found

I do have internet running and everything else works but the last too  
items in the source list

thanks
Jess
