the terminal command:
Code: [Select]
cp sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list must be executed from a root-terminal and from the directory where you have saved your sources.list file. Please also note that you tried to copy sources.lst but it must be sources.list

Save the attachment in your home folder somewhere. Log out and log in as root. Open Dolpin file manager, go to where you saved the sources.list file. Right click on it and select copy. Go to the /etc/apt folder. Right click in an empty area and click paste overwriting the existing sources.list. Log out of root and back into your normal account.


Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.
