Hey,
I did Knoppix 4.0.2 HD installation on my laptop. Every other stuff works fine. The problem is that though I can use "apt-cache searche" to cite the pakages but could not use apt utilities install and remove anything. Therefore I tried "apt-get autoclean" and it executed succesfully. After typing "dselect update" I got the following massage: ############ Hit http://http.us.debian.org stable/non-free Release Reading Package Lists... Done Merging Available information E: read, still have 1 to read but none left update available list script returned error exit status 100. Press <enter> to continue. ############# after that I still could not apt-get install and remove any package. Because this is a brand new installation from live CD. I suspect I need to do somthing else(I totally have no idea what are they) besides configuring sources.list(I copied from one of my working PCs). Anybody can give me a hint? Thank a lot in advance! |
