Can't add an outside repository

[yootje]

When I'm in the Synaptic Manager, and click, settings>repositories, There isn't a "new" button. Just seven standard repos and some buttons like add, remove, settings, etc. How can I add an oustide repo?

Fire up your editor, like "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", and add a repository -- more likely -- uncomment some of the ones already there. Then, "sudo apt-get update" (or reload in Synaptic), and you're all set.

Click Add and then click Custom in the box that pops up. Here you can add any repo you like.

This doesn't work with 6.10,clicking add will not let you add any repositories,unlike 6.06 there is no custom button:(
Typing sudo gedit/etc/apt/sources.list will not let you view source lists as it's not a valid command.](*,)
