ok, rule number 1 steven, no 3rd party repositories of any kind!
please, stick to the default repositories, and you would be ok, have you
not learned anything from your previous experiences when trying to jump
way ahead of yourself? slowly steps is what you need.
get a stable system from default repositories, learn to have *full*
control and knowledge of your system before jumping to fancy stuff in
other repositories. otherwise, forgive me for it Steven, but i won't
(and i know many won't as well) help you out with such trouble. you HAVE
to have complete knowledge of your current system before moving to
another step, or else, we would be walking in a circle here.
