You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

>> SO i tried updating it (apt-get update) and i cant manage to do it yet. What should i do ? Please somebody help me out with this, i'm really a newbie.

Thanks for all for everyone..

Santorres...

Just a guess, but edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out all those URLs that are not working and add "deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free" , or "http://http.non-us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free" and "deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main" ... run apt-get upgrade, apt-get update and then apt-get install whatever. Cheers.

Run an before running

thanks for your help, anyway it is not working anyway. I tried everything you told me and it still does not work. Please, think in any othr possibility, cause i have tried several.

Is there a way i can restore my whole installation of knoppix, meant, is there a command or function similar as the fuc,,, Micro$soft W. to restore the wai it was before working well ? Please reply me any suggestion.. Thank you again.

Hmmmm, apt really is your friend for doing this. What is the output you get when running apt-get update?

Why don't you post your /etc/apt/sources.list

Now this sounds really stupid, but you are connected to the internet when you're doing all this aren't you?

do you mean "apt-get update" failed, or that the install post-update failed?

are you running apt-get update as root?

also, this may help:
