Since yast2 will not work in updating my system online (cannot connect to any servers and I have wget installed) I installed apt-get which gave me good service while using 8.0. I copied the required sources.list for 8.1(from ftp.gdwg.de) in the designated folder but when I try to run apt-get update I get many lines of errors of teh type "Failed to fetch= ftp://................... .mantel kernel etc" Protocol corruption. and then "Couldn't stat source package list ........etc etc" Since I could not find anything relevant in the apt-get faq and I am thinking that probably the sources.list listings are the problem I would appreciate any help you could give me.
