Hi All,
I recently switched to BigPond (long and sad story) and due to their
rather small quotas I went hunting for anything and everything I could
from their quota-free content. Consequently, I have the following
sources list for my 8.0.4 LTS box.
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main
restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main
restricted universe multiverse
## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'
## and 'multiverse' repositories.
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy universe multiverse
## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the
'backports'
## repository.
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main
restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main
restricted universe multiverse
## Security Updates
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security main
restricted
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security universe
multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security universe
multiverse
## Some stuff I need to make my UPnP server (Media Tomb) work better!
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free
After editing your sources list, run a "sudo apt-get --fix-missing
update" ... or whatever the equivalent is in the GUI. Voila!!
Hope that saves someone the search :) Enjoy quota-free Ubuntu updates!
Cheers,
James
