First of all, comment out every line of <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> by
|
||
|
|
placing a hash sign (`<tt>#</tt>') in front of it (if it isn't already
|
||
|
|
there).
|

|
|
|

|

<P>
|

|
|

|
|
Then you need to add new "<tt>deb</tt>" lines describing the location(s)
|
||
|
|
where apt will get the new packages from. You can add "<tt>deb</tt>" lines
|
||
|
|
for a packages mirror on a local harddisk, and/or FTP/HTTP mirrors, and/or
|
||
|
|
(a set of) CD-ROMs. `Apt' will consider all packages that can be found
|
||
|
|
via any "<tt>deb</tt>" line, and use the one with the highest version
|
||
|
|
number, giving priority to the first mentioned lines. (So, in case of
|
||
|
|
multiple mirror locations, you'd typically first name a local harddisk,
|
||
|
|
then CD-ROMs, and finally FTP/HTTP mirrors.)
