Perhaps I should explain what this really means :-) https://launchpad.net/~kwwii/+archive is the url for my PPA. A PPA (Personal Package Archive) is a place in which I put source code and it gets automatically compiled and is then available for others in an easy fashion. What that means is that if you add these as sources in Synaptic Package Manager... deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main ...you'll be able to install the packages and see when they get updated. 1) start synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager) 2) enter password 3) Synaptic opens, add the repository in Settings->Repositories->Third Party Software, click on the Add button at the bottom left Naturally you can also just edit /etc/apt/sources.list with sudo rights and then apt-get update to have it check for new packages on the command line. If I have missed anything or anything is confusing feel free to ask for help. -- Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
