Simple Problem (I hope)

[TheAlmanD]

I think I'm posting in the right section but if not please direct me the the right one

I just installed ubuntu on my computer (after my windows XP recovery disk decided not to work) but I have run across a problem. I was trying to make a repository but when I go system -> administration, I don't see software properties????? Please tell me I am just looking in the wrong place. I am running the edgy eft 6.10 according to the about ubuntu object in system

PLEASE HELP, not much I can do without the repository

Welcome to the forums. What is your definition of repository?

Under system-->admin-->synaptic is the program to add repositories to download new packages (new software programs).

If by repository you mean directory then in a terminal (text-based console)

you can issue the command mkdir This_is_my_new_directory_to_hold_stuff

or

mkdir "This is my directory to hold stuff"

Good luck and welcome to the Ubuntu community.
