I believe the slash that should be ^ here is significant.
Why not just run dselect.
I think either one has an interface to add sources and will put the lines
you need in the sources.list without typos.
Tried dselect which ran very well for awhile, till it started spitting out
302 Moved Temporarily
and
0 Moved Temporarily errors again.
Starting to wonder if it has something to do with our firewall.
I know that Mac OS X Software Update will not access the Apple site
unless I have passworded through the firewall in another program,
like a web browser.
apt-get
and
dselect
do not invoke the firewall-password request.
But lynx does.
Is there a way to have lynx running in one window and then start
dselect in another?
I've tried passwording through with lynx and then immediately
quitting it and starting dselect, but, as I said, dselect then poops
out, as if the firewall closed down again (which it does when you
close a web browser in Mac OS.
I tried doing F1 and F2 and F3 to invoke an additional command line,
like I remembered doing in other distros, but got nothing.
OR is there a way to get apt-get or dselect to force a
firewall-password prompt?
