New - Newbie apt-get question

["deFreese, Barry" <Barry.deFreese@nike.com>]

O.K. so I'm trying to keep this thread alive :-).

When I run apt-get install kde, I keep getting messages that it fails to
pull down some files and then it says:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with
--fix-missing?

I have run apt-get update and it changes nothing.  I have looked through the
man pages for apt-get and can find no reference to --fix-missing?  Any
clues??

Thanks as always!!

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Rage Mobility M3"
        Driver          "r128"
        BusID           "PCI:0:16:0"
        VideoRam        8192     <-- here.
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection

That's the unix port for the local x font server.  If you have one,
it'll be used, otherwise, it will fall back to the FontPaths after it.

good luck!
