working with apt-get

[mike coulombe]

Hi, I don't know how I did it.
But on my computer apt-get got all packages I ask for,
for example, apt-get install links.
I installed on another drive and now this doesn't work.
Is there some setting I changed to make this work.
It didn't work at first on the old drive either, but some how it started to work after I installed some software.
Has anyone else played with this.
   Mike.
