corrupted sources.list...help

[mroark]

In trying to switch to xfce4 I corrupted my sources.list! Is there any way to correct this or will I have to do a clean install.

you can edit your sources.list... type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

then insert there:

#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy
