Repositories - what am I doing wrong?
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 1:25 pm
Hi, I'm a newbie with faith in Mint but no real experience of command line adventures - in the extract below I've just copied and pasted commands from various forum posts. I've just re-installed LMDE because I kept getting error messages on updates ['failed to fetch' etc] Now I can see that there are 308 updates waiting for me but I can't get them to download. I think I have the right repositories listed. Any ideas to help me get things working properly?
