Libranet apt sources

[Schotty]

Okay, creedon you got me interested and I am really glad you did. But now I need some sources. I grabbed Libranet 2.7 Classic off the net, if that matters much. I tried to apt get transcode and gaim (a really old one is the current).

Thanks !

Now I can see why Libranet is so hallowed ;D Rather nicely setup.

[/quote]Yeah, it works and it doesn't break; what else does a Linux user need?

[Schotty]

Well I am curious if you or anyone else installs the nVIDIA drivers? I am trying and it is missing a few kernel header files. I try to apt get it, and it completely misses my version of the kerenel (more specifically all 2.4.19 has is sparc ??)

Any ideas? I am sure I just need a new apt-source right?

Well I got the stuff working a while ago, but was curious what apt sources are out there that would be worth adding in?

[/quote]Man, that's a tough question; there's bunches of sources; it kinda depends on what your goal is: stability or latest and greatest; it's up to you. All apt sources will work, but don't get greedy, it ain't fool-proof.

[Schotty]

Well I would like some things to be latest and greatest, such as GNOME, and some of the more office centric GNOME apps (Gnumeric, Abiword, Evolution). But I really would prefer a more stable base system.

Do you know http://www.apt-get.org/ ? That's the official place to get unofficial apt-get sources. I'm using some of them and it works no problem but I really don't know what happens when you let them lose on a Libranet install.

[Schotty]

Guess we will find out ;D

[/quote]Although I haven't used apt-org, I don't think that there would be a problem with Libranet; it IS Debian; unlike RH- based distros, apt/dpkg works the same in all Debian-based distros.
