hi

i would like to be able to install more software...

my sources.list

rpm-src ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.3-i386 packman packman-i686 kernel-of-the-day suse-projects rpmkeys base update-drpm update-prpm update kde misc x-ati mozilla samba3 suser-rbos suser-jengelh suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-gbv usr-local-bin suser-tcousin suser-scorot suser-jogley wine suse-people security-prpm security

don't know if i need to write...
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/.../SuSE/9.3-i586


how can i add this source to be able to use it with apt?


thanks

you have to add the new source in your /etc/apt/sources.list (at the end of the file, if you want) like this :

rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 base
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 secutiry
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 security-prpm
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 updates
rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 updates-prpm

or

rpm ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 base secutiry security-prpm updates updates-prpm

you can add sources too like this :

rpm-src ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 base
rpm-src ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 secutiry
rpm-src ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 security-prpm
rpm-src ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 updates
rpm-src ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 updates-prpm

or

rpm-src ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-i586 base secutiry security-prpm updates updates-prpm

tell me if it works

PS : comment all other sources with a # at the beginning of their line

here what it says in the sources.list.ftp from ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/...-i586/examples
