tim, what you're looking for is the individual sources.list for the different repositories. you'll also need the GPG key from each for the rpms to be validated. also, i recommend doing an rpm -ev apt and then going to fedora.us and grabbing the official extras apt rpm frmo there, when you first run it you'll get a mirror selection screen. and to bring it back up, use apt-get mirror-select -d Timothy Murphy said: > Wolfgang wrote: > >> Download the APT & SYNAPTIC files from this site.
