free,

I was going to follow your instructions:

"(*):
For setup repos, I use this:
Using xterm and becomeroot , copy this to /etc/apt/sources.list:"

but then I realized I don't know how to use both xterm & becomeroot together. Once I open xterm what I'm I supposed to do next?

i tried typing "/etc/apt/sources.list" and it gave me this:
"- sh: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied"

does this mean I am missing "sh" (whatever that is)? I am a total newb so please bare with me =/

thanks in advance, lg
