I've referred to what you call 'ppas' as 'repositories' below. Firstly, a word of warning: if you replace the core repositories, such as those listed in your apt-get output, with more up-to-date ones, you'll create havoc in trying to install or update anything, because of the difficulty in

I'll do my best to help, although I'm no expert. By the way, your wording seems superb to me- a little dense, but I'd be a hypocrite to condemn that. 1. It would be possible to find and make copies of all MS Word Documents in the zip files, although I can't give you a solution straight away.

According to the "Languages" subsection of 'man apt.conf', I would try this command: $ sudo echo 'Acquire::Languages=none;' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00aptitude Notice that the character ">" is repeated twice. With one single character, you would overwrite what currently is in /etc/apt/apt.conf.

Odamex is very good indeed. It is very faithful to the original engine and it runs great on older hardware. It also supports multiplayer well. Another good one is chocolate doom (it supports Hexen and Heretic too). Prboom+ is slower (I have old laptops) but more advanced/modern.

Hi! The "short script" was just a reference to a shell script- somewhat like a small program. I'll see if I can write one today, although I'm not very experienced or knowledgeable in the area.
