Re: Problem with apt-get update command: failed to fetch packages 404 not found

When I run 'apt-get update', it doesn't complain about sources.list format problem. --- "Mumia W.." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Your sources.list, as posted, isn't formatted well. > > How do you connect to the Internet?
