If anyone has any advice, please throw it my way. It just will not find e2fsprogs.. I have tried oodles of repositories, but no joy. I'm not very good with these things, apparantly

*edit*

Hallelujah! It's working! Don't really understand why.. I switched on red pill mode, added the gregale distro, and installed it through app manager instead of via command prompt. Files are copying across as we speak
