re: edit apt-get sources.list (apt-get woes)
Two problems, apt-get has stopped mounting my periph PCMCIA
cdrom (EXP). When I try apt-cdrom add, it prompts me to
put in cdrom, but then it complains that it is not a valid block
device. Don't understand why this has started happeing, as it
used to work fine.
So, as a workaround I mounted the CDROM, looked through
source files, and copied the x11 directory to /sources/x11 on
my hard drive. Then tried to compile from there. First did
gunzip *.* then tar *.* ; but I don't think I have source
packages; still have .diff .dsc and .tar files. How to make
progress from here??
