Damn, I hate being stupid. What happens when I copy and paste the URL in synaptic to add the slimdevices main stable to the repositories, then click "reload", which is apparently similar to apt-get update, I get a message like this:
Could not download all repository indexes The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences. Then it shows me (dummy) that it will use what it has, which is in fact an Ubuntu repo. : Is that what is is showing me? http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/feisty/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: 81.169.138.125 80] http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/feisty/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: 81.169.138.125 80 At any rate the problem appears to be that for some reason I am unable to get the download from slimdevices. Can anyone help here, or should I be looking to SD for their official help?
