well,

have you tried using a different site?

you can choose among many by editing /etc/slapt-getrc file.

for now, try putting a comment "#" in front of the line which says:

SOURCE=ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/slackware/slackware-9.1/

go down to the bottom section of the file and uncomment another site to use...ibiblio comes to mind.

save the file and the run "slapt-get --update" again.

if your errors are duplicated then something else is the matter.

hi!if you mean example.slapt-getrc,in front of all sites there is that # sign
how I can add another site because I can't open the file as normal user,I tried to create superuser as file manager *kfm*but won't work,because there is not called konqueror in /usr/bin/directory

thanks!
