Hi, all. I think I just need to RTFM but I don't know where. As established at considerable length in another thread, I need to install XFree86 4.2 on a woody machine. I have lots of URL's for mirrors of the version currently being tested, for example:
deb http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/xsf sid/i386 / But when that line is added to my sources.list, I get this error from 'apt-get update': W: Couldn't stat source package list http://www.phy.olemiss.edu sid/i386// Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/www.phy.olemiss.edu_xsf_dists_sid_i386___binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems Needless to say, the version of XFree that I get is still the one included in the main woody archive. So, what am I doing wrong or what document should I have read before I tried this? So far I've looked around at any apt documentation I can find with a casual search, but I'm not finding anything about how to manage packages from outside one's current distribution.
