Please post the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list of your system and the output of 'apt-cache policy debian-builder'. If you are using stable, you shouldn't have any problem installing debian-builder. In the future, please copy and paste the exact error message you receive. > also i have no luck with apt-get. i do not know how to edit > resources.list as "root", Doing something "as root" means (most of the time) to open a terminal window and type 'su' to change your user ID to root. All commands you enter after 'su'ing will be run as root. To edit files in a terminal, you can use 'vim' (which is hard to use if you do not already know it) or nano (much easier, but not that powerful).
