Evening all: Thought I'd announce myself with a question about setting up sources.list to be able to begin download and install of R. Running version 7.10 of Ubuntu. (Tried 8.04 but found it slow and finicky with my hardware. Perhaps will try 8.10 or above, but that's a thought for another time.) Followed the notes on the R site and added the following lines to my sources.list: deb http://probability.ca/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu gutsy/ deb http://releases.ubuntu.com/ hardy-backports main restricted univer The first seems to pass muster just fine. The second line has been the problem. That's the fourth site I tried plugging in and I get 404ed every time. I do run the Firestarter firewall but that shouldn't be a problem, should it? If it blocked that would it not have blocked all updating? Is the line correctly formed? Is there a site that will work? Is that line strictly necessary, or can I drop it as unneeded with the Gibbon? Any help much appreciated...
