Have you tried it with one of the graphical installers: Synaptics, Add/Remove ? Can you download any other package? Do you want to show us the sources.list? Does the machine have internet connection? Have you tried adding the CD to your repository and does apt-get work with any of the packages from that CD? <div>2007/5/5, Skip Evans <<a href="mailto:skip@bigskypenguin.com">skip@bigskypenguin.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hey all, I've installed Feisty Fawn on the curmudgeon barber's machine, but it won't get any of the outside packages I've tried to get. I've tried an apt-get install {package} ...on digikam, kate, gftp, and others. All stuff I had no trouble getting with Edgy. I checked the sources.list file and it has both universe and multiverse enabled. Is there something with the FF repositories or something I'm missing?
