The purpose of this page is to provide instructions for adding download sources for Xandros Networks.
There are two ways (that we will cover) to add sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
- Add via Xandros Networks.
- Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Note: For the examples below, I will be using the geekconnection.org repository, but it may be substituted with any repository address you wish to use. You also must be root/administrator to perform these actions and make them take effect.
Add Sources Via Xandros Networks:
- Open Xandros Networks.
2. Go to: Edit>Set Application Sources.
3. Click on the Add button.
4. Type:
deb http://www.geekconnection.org xandros4 main
5. Click OK.
That's it!
Xandros networks should automatically reload the package list, and the stuff for Xandros 4 on geekconnnection.org should now be installable.
Add Sources By Editing The Apt Sources File:
- Open Xandros File Manager by clicking on Launch>Applications>System>Administrator Tools>Xandros File Manager (Administrator).
- Enter the root/administrator password.
- Go to: /etc/apt.
4. Open the sources.list file.
5. Add the repository address by typing:
deb http://www.geekconnection.org xandros4 main
6. Save the file.
7. Open Xandros Networks.
Xandros networks should automatically reload the package list, and the stuff for Xandros 4 on geekconnnection.org should now be installable.
Note: If Xandros Networks is already open, then add the following steps to reload the package list in Xandros Networks:
8. In Xandros Networks, Go to: Edit>Update List.
Xandros networks should reload the package list, and the stuff for Xandros 4 on geekconnnection.org should now be installable.
That's it!
