adding mde repository? [solved]

[bigjohn]

can someone just run me through the correct method of adding the mde repository?

 

I can find the ftp and http servers at Warwick. I then copy the url, then in the MCC look at the list of repositories that I've got set, and then click "add custom".

 

I add the url (for either the ftp or http server depending on which one I've copied).

 

I've tried all the ways that I can think of but keep getting errored out. It doesn't seem to matter which of the other boxes I try.

 

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but for the life of me, can't work out what it is.

I can't get the warwick mirror but mde works: http://www.mde.djura.org/index2006.0.html

 

Just read the instruction on the bottom of the page. I believe there are some problems with the warwick mirrors.

Cheers for that devries.

 

I'm not sure if it is actually a problem at Warwick or not - it didn't matter whether I used the url for Warwick or for mde.djura - it wouldn't extract the list. Though I did try variations of hdlist.cz and with hdlist.cz, but I've got it now.

 

Ha! the actual problem I was having seems to have been sorted by doing a "newbiesque" re-install, but now I can sort out getting the new kde stuff as well.

 

Again, many thanks.
