Apt repositories

[Alan E. Davis]

Thank you. I have copied that file to /etc/apt/sources.list, and added a 
skype entry. Edited, replacing "hoary" with "breezy". I get alot of messages 
from synaptic, but there sure are many more packages. 

I noticed something I've never seen before of synaptic. When I would stop 
the process of downloading packages, several times, synaptic started over on 
a file that was nearly completey downloaded. In some cases, a 10 MB or 
larger file would restart again and again. Skype choked several times, twice 
when 99% downloaded! I finally downloaded it from a browser, and installed 
with dpkg.

I'll mess around wiht all this a bit more. It's somewhat rough in the edges. 
I notice, also, that several good packages from the 2.12 Gnome Live CD are 
not in this setup. That was an attractive live cd: it was good enough to 
convince me to install Ubuntu.
