I am 100% positive on this. Is this how it should be?? Anyways...after updating sources.list I run: apt-get update And it errors out, with this following error message: maxus:/etc/apt# apt-get update E: Malformed line 15 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (Absolute dist) What have I done wrong? It looks fine to my eye (and reading a previous post from (I think it was) Thomas indicates that it just needs to be main. Dave PS I also tried: deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody ./ main and that didn't work either. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Schoepf To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; David Pastern Cc: debian-kde@lists.debian.org Sent: 27/09/2002 5:38 Subject: Re: 178 days and counting On Fri, Sep 27, 2002 at 01:36:16PM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody ./ > It appears to be what I want.

The packages there will work with woody (=stable) without requiring any libs from testing or unstable. Bye Thomas -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
