how to find and edit /etc/apt/sources.list

[ahab]

Hi,

I'm a total newbie to linux but wants to try and install subversion on my bubba2. I've found an excellent how-to on this forum but it starts by saying that I need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list.

I can't find the file anywhere, can anyone help me?

Thanks

First of you need to SSH into the bubba, either, if using windows, by using putty, or, if not using windows, by using ssh.

After ssh:ed in, gain super user access by typing "su", following by the password "excito".

to install subversion, you now type the following:

apt-get install subversion

should be no need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list

but if you really need to edit that file, type either

vim /etc/apt/sources.list
or
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

depending on what editor you like to use.
