On KnoppMyth, to get the apt-get interface working (to install Firefox and some multimedia programs), I had to substitute the default sources.list file with something that used Debian's official site. The file is located at /etc/apt/sources.list if you are unaware. You should change it to look something like this:
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especially # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free # Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work #deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free Grand Demon On 6/11/05, Cecil Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Ricardo Kleemann wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Sorry this maybe a little off-topic, but I installed knoppmyth and I'm > > trying to install other apps on top of it.
