Hm. I have Fedora 7 so I cannot really check what my entry would look like. I recently installed Kubuntu on a friends notebook so there the readme from http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html did actually work. I just had a second look at your mail so could it be that there is a missing slash after feisty? If that does not work try another mirror like deb http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu/ feisty/ there is also no main stated there in the readme... sorry I copied that from your mail so thats obviously not following the readme... I hope this works now. Stefan -=-=- ... Satisfaction does not come with achievement, but with effort. Full effort is full victory.
