Trying to install adams kernel on ubuntu

[mattarios]

just a warning, i am a 100% noob to linux, but wanting to learn. I followed the instructions on this site : http://www.array.org/ubuntu/setup-intrepid.html

because I have intrepid not hardy, i believe.

And after trying to install the kernel with this code : sudo apt-get install linux-eeepc

it responds with E: malformed line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read

Any help here would be great guys. When i browse to that path i see no file in there, should there be one? What's the deal, thanks guys.

open a terminal and type:


sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

then paste this into it (overwrite the contents of the file if there's anything in it already)

Then save the file, and run this command:


sudo apt-get update



Yay! 1000 posts!

ok so now I got to the step that says

Install the EeePC kernel.
sudo apt-get install linux-eeepc

and then reboot and get the boot option screen and choose the new choice. When i get to the boot option screen it isnt in the boot options.

Reason for this?

Thanks so much for your help man.

[jimv]

It's not in the boot options at all? Even further down the list?

[mattarios]

doesn't show up at all, should i go through it again?
