I've been using the rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de site with synaptic to update etc but it was too slow. so I added this mirror using vim and 'copy and paste':

But I get this error: E: Line 4 too long in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.
Even though this is the same as the rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de site:
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.0-i386 update security base kde gnome2 xfree86 usr-local-bin suser-rbos update-prpm mozilla funktronics packman packman-i686 mantel-kernel wine security-prpm suser-kpietz suser-tcousin suser-scorot suser-sbarnin suse-people suse-projects
Which works. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jerome
I simply split the long line ito several.. I added them five instances / line rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.0-i386 update security base kde gnome2 rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.0-i386 xfree86 usr-local-bin suser-rbos update-prpm etc etc etc.. Dunno if thats the best way, but it seems to work for me.. -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 (0)735 05 51 01 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
