Hi!
right, i'm having some trouble downloading packages from the repository servers after editing my sources.list file (in /etc/apt) in the way that ubuntuguide.org suggests...
firstly
this is what i get before i make the change my .sources file:
the UNCHANGED file:
#deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted
## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'
## repository.
## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to
## your rights to use the software. Also, please note that software in
## universe WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu security
## team.
# deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe
# deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security main restricted
# deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security universe
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security universe
and this is the output it gives me...
ed@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get update

Reading package lists... Done
all well and good so far...
however ubuntuguide.org wants me to edit this sources.list file (i'm not really sure why)... so i change my file to (as suggested, but possibly mis-interpreted) to:
(the EDITED version of sources.list)
#deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted
