1. Change sources.list
I'm not sure what that means - do you mean changing it to the gNewSense sources.list? That's my best guess. I obtain a laptop (IBM ThinkPad X31 with no CDROM drive) that is running Windows. I go to http://instlux.sf.net and download instluxNETUbuntu6_06english.exe and run it I reboot I install Ubuntu as usual I login and open the Terminal and type a command to install SSH, so that I can transfer files to the laptop easily and securely: $ sudo apt-get install ssh ... * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server... [ ok ] ... I then type a command to find out the IP address of the laptop with $ ifconfig ... inet addr:192.168.0.51 ... I then go to my gNewSense desktop and open the Terminal, and type a command to transfer the gNewSense sources.list to the laptop, straight into the user's home directory: $ scp /etc/apt/sources.list [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Going back to the laptop I then move the Ubuntu sources.list out of the way: $ sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list{,.ubuntu} And move the gNewSense sources.list into its place: $ sudo mv sources.list /etc/apt/
2. aptitude dist-upgrade
I then update the apt system but this fails: $ sudo apt-get update Password: Get: 1 http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad Release.gpg [191B] Hit http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad Release Errhttp://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad Release Get: 2 http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad Release [1107B] Ign http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad Release Get: 3 http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security Release.gpg [191B] Ign http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/main Packages Ign http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/universe Packages Ign http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/main Sources Ign http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/universe Sources Hit http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/main Packages Hit http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/universe Packages Hit http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/main Sources Hit http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security Release Errhttp://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security Release Hit http://gb.archive.gnewsense.org deltad/universe Sources Get: 4 http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security Release [1101B] Ign http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security Release Ign http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/main Packages Ign http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/universe Packages Ign http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/main Sources Ign http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/universe Sources Hit http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/main Packages Hit http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/universe Packages Hit http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/main Sources Hit http://gb.security.gnewsense.org deltad-security/universe Sources Fetched 2590B in 1s (1977B/s) Reading package lists...

Could someone take this, test it and generally own it? I'd like this working by the weekend. Should be just a few hours work. Your results should form a nice howto on the wiki, with appropriate warnings.
Sorry for the delay; hopefully we can get it working by the next release :-) -- Regards, Dave _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
