[GRLUG] "apt-get update wardrobe"

[Justin Denick]

Umm, the apt-thing may be broken try this from the much sought Knoppix CD

$cd /mnt/your/drive
$for files in `ls | grep -v home`;do
   rm -fr $files;
done

$wget
http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo/releases/x86/current/stages/stage3-x86-2006.0.tar.bz2

$tar xvjpf  stage3-x86-2006.0.tar.bz2
$mount -t proc none proc
$chroot . /bin/bash --login
$env-update
$source /etc/profile
$emerge --sync
$emerge new-girlfriend -pv

You will find that this leads to dependency hell and will condume most if
not all of your time. However, after she's installed and everything is going
great, you will be satiated. Until it happens....

Somebody says " Hey Pal. Did you see that they now have wife.0.2 for KDE!"
No the two will not co-exist and cannot be installed in seperate SLOTS.

No offense to the Debian guys. apt is an awesome tool. \
$ln -sf /bin/emerge /bin/apt-get
