Dear cbs team,<br><br>Sorry I forgot that you had told me specifically comment out those specific lines.<br><br>I have tried commenting out all of the sid, and keeping the etch and the Debian multimedia, however I think the server is still behaving as if the files should not be accessible to me. Maybe I am tired and am doing something stupid. I don't know what language the file will be interpreted/compiled in but I assume the comments are the ## marks.

However I can't just put the CD with the windows executable in that machine at the moment because I am having trouble configuring the DVD drive on the Fedora box. Is it okay to ask about Fedora questions here or is CB strictly dedicated to Debian/Ubuntu?
<br><br>Yum and apt-get seem like similar types of programs.

Does anybody know how to change settings/configure the mouse so that this doesn't happen anymore?

<br><br>If you mean you are using apt-get install from the command line, then<br>yes, Synaptic uses the same repositories.<br><br>This is set by a file called sources.list which lives in the /etc/apt<br>directory. It can be edited with a text editor too (need root).
<br><br>Alert: Always make a backup of a file before changing it. Using the<br>command line and if you are in the directory where the file lives, type:<br><br>cp sources.list backupsources<br><br>Basically cp means to copy, so you are making another copy of
<br>sources.list and calling it backupsources. If you are real keen to use<br>the command line, there is an intro tutorial re command line over at<br><a href="http://doc.vic.computerbank.org.au/tutorials/learning_linux_command_line_interface/">
http://doc.vic.computerbank.org.au/tutorials/learning_linux_command_line_interface/</a><br><br>The APT error you are getting could be just a temporary error about that<br>particular file. Do an apt-get update (type in at command line as root)
<br>and try again. Your repository lines look fine to me.<br><br>You might want to get wine-utils and wine-doc too.<br><br>>From the commandline the command would be<br><br>apt-get install wine wine-utils wine-doc<br><br>
I'm not sure that ubuntu sources should be in there too, this could<br>break things. I'd leave them commented out. Perhaps only keep the etch<br>one in (take out sid stuff) and debian multimedia.<br><br>You can have as many repositories as you like. Just be careful how you
<br>use them because things could get out of whack (say esp if you mix<br>ubuntu and debian ones).<br><br>With respect to bjcups...not sure what you mean, except to say configure<br>printers with kde control centre or from within a browser. Browse to
<br>localhost:631. Both these ways will set up a printer system wide. Both<br>essentially talk to the same thing....CUPS...common unix printing<br>system.<br><br>And yes, by all means send emails to cbsupport... good for others to
<br>see. Do you mind if i forward this one?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Kylie<br><br>On Tue, 2007-02-27 at 18:12 +1100, Russell jarvis wrote:<br>> Hi Kylie,<br>><br>> I am trying to apt-get wine, but I am guessing apt accesses the same
