I have recently started to configure a new laptop with Kubuntu 8.10 I have been going slow, asking for a coupple of packeges a day, and it seems to keep trying to get them for me from ca.archve.ubuntu.com/ The only problem is that it has been downloading at a rate of about 2kbs. this afternoon I started to get a 80 meg combination (asking for one packge alutomaticaly pulls in in a lot of dependancies.) which is still only about 1/3 of the way through. and three packages so far showed as "error", I don't know if it will ignore them or try later. IS there a way to get it to try more than one archive site? How? am I misisng somthing? At this rate it will take mea month or more to get my wife's new computer into service. -- Charles MacDonald Stittsville Ontario cmacd [ at ] zeusprune [ dot ] ca Just Beyond the Fringe http://www.TelecomOttawa.net/~cmacd/ No Microsoft Products were used in sending this e-mail.
